We are looking for a quick and efficient way to bulk import IT assets into the Hardware Asset table (alm_hardware). Can we use the out-of-the-box Bulk Import functionality in the Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) Workspace to accomplish this?
The out-of-the-box HAM Bulk Import functionality requires selecting a stockroom. However, we need to import assets assigned to multiple stockrooms in a single operation.

Hi @vzhang188 ,
the out-of-the-box Import and receive assets in bulk functionality in Hardware Asset Workspace is stockroom-specific.
process
Navigate to Hardware Asset Workspace → Inventory → All stockrooms.
Select the required stockroom.
Select Import receiving log.
Download and populate the Excel template.
Import the template, review the validation results, and resolve any errors before receiving the assets.
Since the process requires selecting a stockroom before importing, OOTB procedure does not support for importing assets assigned to multiple stockrooms in a single operation.
For your requirement, you can either perform separate imports for each stockroom or evaluate an Import Set and Transform Map that resolves the appropriate stockroom for each asset. Validate the latter in a sub-production instance before using it in production.
Also, note that the workspace functionality is an asset receiving process with validation, rather than simply a bulk insert into alm_hardware.
