How Teachers Manage Inventory Items

Throughout the school year, you may need to review or make changes to your classroom inventory within Eduthings.

In this article, you'll learn ways teachers have access and management over inventory items. 

1. Using the Inventory Search
2. Creating new inventory items
3. Editing inventory items
4. Making a purchase request for classroom inventory

Using the Inventory Search

The Inventory Search is available by clicking Inventory on the top navigation menu.

The filters provide an easy and powerful way to zero in on what you are searching for.

You can search for the basics on this main screen, including:

• Asset number
• Serial number
• PO number
• Asset Name
• Teacher
• Campus

If you want a more directed search, you can click on Advanced Search.

Creating new inventory items

It's important to note, not all districts allow teachers to enter new inventory items into Eduthings. If you are not able to follow the instructions to create new inventory items, please contact your district's CTE Director with your request. 

Teachers can create new inventory items by clicking Inventory on the top navigation menu.

The New Item button will be located at the right-side of the screen above the Inventory Search.

For a full step-by-step, click here.

Editing inventory items

Still under Inventory from the main navigation bar, teachers can also provide an inventory check to update the status on existing inventory items recorded in Eduthings.

The Pencil icon will be located on the far right side of the screen, beneath the Inventory Search.

You may need to scroll right to see this next to the green Update Status button. 

For a full step-by-step, click here.

Making a purchase request for classroom inventory

It's important to note, not all districts allow teachers to enter a purchase request within Eduthings.  If you are not able to follow the instructions, please contact your district's CTE Director with your request. 

To make a purchase request for classroom inventory, teachers should visit Inventory > Show Purchase Requests then find the New Purchase Request button.
