What happens to non-rotating items upon use?

When non-rotating items are used, they are consumed. Non-rotating items typically refer to supplies or materials that are used up in the operations of an asset management system, such as lubricants, cleaning supplies, or any other consumables that are not tracked for inventory turnover. As these items are utilized, they decrease the inventory levels and are counted as used or consumed.

The consumption of these items reflects their impact on operations; once they are used, their availability in inventory decreases, and they do not need to be tracked in the same way that rotating items, like spare parts, would be. This consumption leads to the eventual need to reorder to replenish the stock. Therefore, the statement that non-rotating items are consumed accurately captures the relationship between their use and inventory management in a Maximo context.
