Inventory asset creation
Inventory assets are not created upfront when fixed assets are created.
They are created only when the following conditions are satisfied:
- Asset tracking strategy on the product model is set to create assets.
- Product category referenced on the product model has an asset class defined.
- Product has been partially or fully delivered. In case of partial delivery, only the corresponding partial quantity of inventory assets are created.
Inventory assets are not created if goods receipt required is specified as no for a good, or if the acknowledgment type is a two-way match for a service.
If you have defined an asset class, the corresponding asset records are created and associated to the relevant contract model on the purchase order, which are then displayed on the assets covered related list. The applicable contract models that should have the assets covered related list are insurance, lease, maintenance, purchase order, software license, subscription, and warranty.
To view the asset related list, navigate to . A Purchasing tab has been added to the asset form view to capture procurement specific fields that are populated from the purchase order line of the corresponding asset.
