I am running an import and transforming the Excel file for record creation in alm_hardware. The transform map populates the following asset fields:
- - serial_number
- model
- warranty_information
- asset_tag
- model_category
- purchase_date
I can see the asset record being created:
When I check the product model definition (cmdb_model), I can see that its asset tracking strategy is: Create consumable asset
As you can see from the screenshot, no configuration item is created and I am not sure why. I can confirm that the "Create CI on insert" business rule is active and that an asset created for a computer (model categories = computer) does create the CI. What am I missing to get this monitor's CI created?

What is the CI class and Asset class on your model category?

And if your display model record has asset strategy set to "leave to category"?

It was, but during troubleshooting, I changed it to "Create consumable asset".
