This process ensures aisle-space information is completed for each asset, improving inventory organization and accuracy. Show full answer Show less ## Key Features * **Automatic Task Creation:** Asset put away tasks are automatically generated when a hardware asset is created without aisle-space information or when the stockroom field is updated, provided the stockroom is enabled for warehouse tasks. * **Manual Task Creation:** Inventory users can manually create Asset put away tasks for in-stock assets through the Hardware Asset Workspace. * **Task Management:** Users can view open put away tasks, update the drop-off location to assign aisle-space, and close tasks once assets are placed in the stockroom. * **Mobile Support:** The ServiceNow Agent application allows scanning in-stock assets and assigning them to scanned drop-off locations, streamlining the put away process on mobile devices. ## Key Outcomes * Improved inventory accuracy by ensuring proper location data for assets in the stockroom. * Enhanced operational efficiency in asset handling through automated and manual task workflows. * Better visibility and control over asset placement using the Hardware Asset Workspace and mobile scanning capabilities. * Facilitated compliance with inventory management best practices by tracking asset movements precisely. Use the Asset put away feature to track asset movement efficiently in the inventory. The Asset put away task enables you to track asset movement from the receiving bay of the inventory to the designated space within the stockroom. The Asset put away task confirms that when an asset is received in the inventory, you have filled the aisle-space information for it. An Asset put away task is automatically created in the Hardware Asset Workspace when the following required business rules are met: * When a hardware asset is created in the Hardware Asset Workspace and the Aisle-space field value isn't available, an Asset put away task is created. Open the Asset put away task and update the Drop off location field value, to move the asset to designated aisle-space in the stockroom. Note: You can create an Asset put away task manually for the in stock assets in the inventory.
