How do I "consume" a product in a maintenance request?

Question

I'm (truly) brand new to Odoo.
I'm looking for how the maintenance module is related to the inventory module. In other words, I have a number of products in inventory (screws, washers, and nuts), as well as a number of tools (drivers and wrenches). I see how I can reference the tools while performing a maintenance request, I don't see how I can use the products (and therefore have them removed from inventory).
Am I going about this all wrong?

1. Create a SCRAP location called "Consumed in Maintenance"
2. Scrap each Product you "use"
3. (for extra credit) Add a button to the Maintenance Request to help the user SCRAP, auto populating the correct location for them:

Something like this would do the trick (if you are worried about hardcoding action and location id's  -  check out the EVAL attribute for XML files):
<button string="CONSUME PRODUCT"
name="594"
type="action"
context="{'default_scrap_location_id': 168,}"/>

I have the same concern. Was there any solutions ?
