There are four methods to entering a new asset into Enterprise Asset Management.
You can create them individually, by copying information from an existing asset, utilize
the multiple asset entry method,

To set up assets individually:

Figure : Define Asset Number Window

2. Select an Asset Group from the list of values. This Asset Group will be associated
with this asset.
3. Enter an Asset Serial Number.
Once an asset has been saved, it cannot be deleted. The asset can only be deactivated if
there are no open work orders for the asset, or if the asset is not part of an asset
hierarchy.
4. Select EAM Enabled Organization from LOV

5. Select an Owning Department for this asset from the list of values. This represents the
crew responsible for the asset.

6. Select an Asset Criticality code from the list of values, indicating the importance of
the asset to the organization. This field is for information only.
7. Select a WIP Accounting Class from the list of values. This will identify the Expense
cost elements associated with the work performed, such as materials, labor, and
resources.
8. Optionally, enter the area where this asset resides.
9. Indicate whether this asset is maintainable. If the Maintainable check box is selected,
you can create work requests and work orders for this asset.
For example, an asset can be created for cost-tracking purposes. We may want to see the
cost for all top level assets in an asset hierarchy, but we do not want to maintain those
assets. In this situation, do not select this check box.

11. Select an Item from the list of values. This is mandatory if you populated the
Production Organization field. Only items that were defined with an equipment template

13. In the Parent Asset region, optionally enter an Asset Group. This defines asset
hierarchy information, enabling you to review all cost associated with an asset or asset
hierarchal view.
14. Enter a parent Asset Number. This defines asset hierarchy information. If an asset
group was created in step 14, then this field is mandatory.
