Creating assets

You use the Assets application to create and to store asset numbers and corresponding information, such as parent, location, vendor, up/down status, and maintenance costs for each asset.

Procedure

  1. On the toolbar of the Assets application, click the New Asset icon.
  2. In the Asset Description field, type a description.
  3. In the Rotating Item field, if the asset is rotating, type a value.
  4. If this asset has a parent, type a value in the Parent field. If the parent asset is associated with a location, the location identifier is copied to the Location field. Only assets that are in non-inventory locations can be assigned as parents. You cannot build a hierarchy when assets are in a storeroom.
  5. Optional: Type information in the other fields as needed.
  6. Click Save Asset.
