Asset Part Usage and Bill of Material

Asset part usage and bill of material can be updated based on usage by Calem. You can also define bill of material for assets manually.

Asset Part Usage

Asset part usage will be shown in a new tab in the asset screen. A technician can view parts used for an asset in the past and decide which parts to use for the current job at hand.



Asset Bill of Material

The bill of material (BOM) for an asset can be built out based on part usage. This feature is enabled by default. It can be turned off. See Admin Guide for more information. Note that Asset Item is required for auto-building the BOM for an asset. The asset BOM is listed in the "Part" tab along with the part stock information (quantity, storeroom and locators).

The first step is to define asset items for assets.

  • Assets with the same asset item can share parts and documents
  • Asset item simplifies the BOM build-up because you are building BOM for the same assets identified by the asset item.
