We are trying to identify the relationship between alm_asset and Computers table. The assets we have in Stockroom(which are scanned by the Servicenow mobile app) also gets added in the Computer table. If we change a field in this record in the Computer table, the field also gets updated for the record in the alm_asset table, is there a way to stop this from happening and is there any implication to change this OOB behaviour?

Hi @Anamika15
Yes, there are two OOB business rules that synchronize the asset and CMDB records
BR (alm_asset): Update CI fields on change
BR(cmdb_ci) : Update Assets fields on change
If you deactivate these business rules, your asset and CI records will become unsynchronized, which is not a recommended practice.
