Location Tab

 

The Location tab allows you to create a specified number of assets at a given location. After entering information that is generic to all of these assets, click the Add button to open additional fields in order to enter information that is unique for each asset or for some assets.

To process a location, the document requires both the asset status and the asset type code.

      The asset status is used to define whether the asset is capital or non-capital.

      The asset type code identifies the asset category. The Asset Type Code table has a required building indicator and a movable indicator.

Taken together, these two values determine what location information is required for an asset. For example, capital movable equipment requires a valid campus, building, and room combination or an off-campus address. Non-capital assets, on the other hand, require only a campus code, while building and room are not required.
