- **[Common Field Service Inventory Management Tasks](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=service.fs_parts_guidelines.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Learn how to perform everyday tasks in field service inventory management.
- **[Track Required Inventory in Field Service](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=service.fs_create_products_required.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    If a work order needs to be completed by a carpenter with a hand saw, don’t assign it to an electrician with a voltmeter! Add _products required_ to work types, work orders, and work order line items to ensure that the assigned service resource arrives with the right equipment.
- **[Request Inventory in Field Service](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=service.fs_create_part_requests.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    When your stock gets low or you need a part for a particular work order, create a _product request_. Product requests can be associated with work orders, work order line items, cases, and accounts. You can specify when and where the parts are needed, and divide the request into line items that each represent a needed part.
- **[Transfer Inventory in Field Service](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=service.fs_create_product_transfers.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    To fulfill a product request, create a product transfer. Product transfers track the movement of inventory from one field service location to another. The inventory numbers at your storage locations update automatically to reflect transfers.
- **[Track Inventory Consumption in Field Service](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=service.fs_create_products_consumed.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Create _products consumed_ to track the use or consumption of items from your inventory.
- **[Track Inventory Shipments in Field Service](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=service.fs_create_shipments.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    To track product items while they’re in transit between locations, create shipments. Shipments contain information about the products on board, the shipping carrier, and the expected delivery date.
- **[Track Customer Returns in Field Service](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=service.fs_create_return_orders.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    _return orders_ to facilitate the return and repair of items that were sold to customers or supplied to field service workers.
