Tarvikekortti

Tarvikekortti is a Finnish term that translates to "material card" or "supply card." It refers to a document or system used to record and track the materials or supplies used in a particular project, task, or process. These cards are often used in inventory management, manufacturing, construction, and other industries where detailed material usage needs to be monitored.

The purpose of a tarvikekortti is to provide a clear overview of which materials have been consumed, in what quantities, and potentially for what specific purpose. This information is crucial for several reasons. Firstly, it aids in accurate cost accounting, allowing businesses to understand the material expenses associated with different activities. Secondly, it supports inventory control, helping to prevent shortages or overstocking of essential supplies. By knowing what has been used, it becomes easier to reorder or manage existing stock levels effectively.

A typical tarvikekortti might include fields for the item name or code, unit of measure, quantity used, date of use, and possibly the name of the person or team responsible for the usage. In some digital systems, this information might be integrated into a larger enterprise resource planning (ERP) or material management software. The concept emphasizes traceability and accountability in the use of resources.
