After you create an asset, you can add it to a collection,
change its status, add downtime information, add meter information,
move the asset, swap the asset, change the item number, or zero the
year-to-date amount.
Changing the status of assets
You use the Assets application to change the status of
an asset. Assets have a designated status that indicates whether they
are operational. When you create an asset record, the default status
is Not Ready.
Reporting asset downtimes
You use the Assets application to report the start and
end time of the downtime for an asset after it has occurred.
Adding meters to assets
Use the Assets application to associate multiple meters
with an asset. If the selected asset is associated with a meter group,
the meters in that group display in the Meters window
on the Meters tab.
Moving assets
You can move an asset from a non-inventory location to
another non-inventory location or to a storeroom. You can move assets
from your current site to another site within your organization, or
to a site in a different organization.
Swapping assets
You use the Assets application to replace one asset with
another asset, and to specify a location for the asset you swap out.
You can swap any number of assets at once. You cannot move rotating
assets from inventory locations. Use the Inventory application to
issue rotating assets or to transfer rotating assets.
Changing item numbers
You can change the item number of the current rotating
asset record.
Zeroing out asset costs
You use the Assets application to zero out the year to
date or the total costs for an asset. This action might be performed
once per year.
