Resource The name of the resource being viewed. APM automatically enters this information, but you can change it if necessary. If this box is left blank, an error message will appear. See Also Title The name or short description of this item. You can enter up to 250 characters. Warehouse The warehouse where this resource is located. APM automatically enters this information, but you can change it if necessary. If this box is left blank, an error message will appear. See Also Unit status The current status of the serialized inventory unit. See Also Unit identifier The serialized unit name or number. When a serialized unit is linked to an asset, the identifier can be the asset number, the asset name, or the asset serial number. When a resource unit is not linked to an asset, it is assigned a system-generated identifier. You can change the system-generated identifier to a more meaningful value, such as a serial number. The unit identifier is used for component assets/repairable spares and for maintainable assets/tools. See Also Unit condition The unit condition identifies the relative age and condition of a serialized resource unit — new, rebuilt, or used. See Also Unit asset The asset to which a serialized resource unit is linked. See Also Serial Number The serial number for this asset or resource. You can enter up to 50 characters. See Also New asset information for this unit Changes the relationship (link) between the serialized resource unit asset and an asset. See Also Type Asset types are groups of settings that define the characteristics of your organization’s assets. For example, you might create asset types called “pumps” or “piping and valves.” The asset type contains basic information, policies, and permissions, such as whether or not standard jobs can be created for assets of the type. When you create an asset in APM, you must specify an asset type, which then determines the information and functionality available for the asset. See Also Status Asset status represents the operational state of an asset and whether or not it is available for use. APM uses the status of an asset to determine whether or not work is triggered and whether or not components are available for installation. Sites can also use statuses, but these statuses are specific to sites and cannot be used for assets. Status is particularly important for components because it reflects a component’s repair and availability status. For example, when a component is out of service, the status can also indicate whether the component is a spare and available for use, is in the shop for repair, is out for vendor repair, or has been scrapped. When you change the status of a parent asset, the statuses of its children are also changed (provided the previous statuses of the assets were the same). See Also Asset type Assets of this type may be linked to this resource unit. See Also Asset status for material resources The component asset status that logically corresponds to this inventory unit status. Assets with this status may only be linked to serialized resource units with the matching inventory unit status. See Also Asset status for tools The maintainable asset (tools) status that logically corresponds to this inventory unit status. Tools with this status may only be linked to serialized resource units with the matching inventory unit status. See Also
