INVENTAR
INVENTAR
What is this for?
With INVENTAR you manage your objects / articles that are rented out or used internally.
Examples:
- Tech (lighting, sound, cables)
- Furniture
- Accessories
You can categorize items, maintain their status, store quantities, and optionally specify a daily price. Items can later be added directly to a contract from the VERTRAG plugin.
Typical day-to-day actions
- Search, create, and maintain inventory
- Filter by category
- Set status (e.g., available, broken, in repair)
- Manage categories & schemas
Step by step
1) Search for an item
1. Open Inventory → Items (/inventar/items).
2. Use the search field or category filter.
2) Create a new item
1. In the list, click "New".
2. Fill in the required fields:
- Name
- Category
- Quantity
- Status
3. Optional:
- Price per day
- Description / note
4. Save.
3) Edit an item
1. In the list, click the item → "Edit".
2. Save the changes.
4) Delete an item (soft-delete)
Deleted items are usually not hard-deleted, so history / existing contracts remain consistent.
Admin settings
Categories (/settings/admin/inventar/categories)
This is where you define the categories that can be selected in the inventory.
Examples:
- Sound
- Lighting
- Stage
- Cables
Actions:
- Create a category
- Rename a category (
POST /categories/{name}/rename) - Delete a category (
POST /categories/{name}/delete) – only possible when no items reference it anymore
Per-category schema (/settings/admin/inventar/categories/{name}/schema)
For each category you can define additional fields (e.g., "wattage" for lamps, "length" for cables). These then appear in the edit form of items in this category.
Global schema (/settings/admin/inventar/schema)
Controls system-wide identifiers (e.g., how inventory numbers are structured). If you don't need any special numbering logic, you can leave the default schema as is.
Frequently asked questions / problems
"I can't find an item"
- Search for partial words.
- Reset the filter (category to "All").
- Check whether the item has been soft-deleted.
"Category can't be deleted"
- Usually because items still reference it. Re-categorize the items first, then delete the category.
"Price per day isn't transferred to the contract"
- Check whether a daily price is stored on the item.
- In the contract, prices also depend on the contract configuration (see VERTRAG).

Notes
- INVENTAR is closely tied to VERTRAG: through contract editing, items can be assigned directly.
- For consumables, we recommend a separate category with a matching status workflow.
