How do materials get deducted automatically when a procedure is done?

Short answer: link the item to the procedure in Inventory → Items → Edit Item → Inventory Usage; when the treatment is completed, save the Usage form as Completed to deduct the stock.

Open the item

Go to Inventory → Items, open the item and click Edit Item. Scroll to Inventory Usage.

Add the procedure

Click Add Procedure, choose the procedure and the Amount used in single procedure. Choose After Procedure or After Procedure Steps. Click Update.

Complete the treatment

When the treatment is marked Completed on the chart, the Usage form opens with the item and amount.

Save as Completed

Check the amount and the From storage, set Status to Completed and click Create.

Inventory Usage section of the item form

Nothing is deducted until the Usage form is saved as Completed. Closing the form without saving records nothing.

For items used in every treatment, such as gloves, choose All Procedures instead of adding each procedure.
