Creating Equipment Removal Requests

Asset change requests are sent to the external system (for example, SAP) that manages assets and work. AssetWise Enterprise Interoperability (AWEIS) conveys the requests and can also return information from the external system to assets in APM.
Asset Change Request Types provide settings according to the kind of request: property change, status change, equipment removal, or priority change. For more information, see Setting up Asset Change Request Types.
Equipment removal requests are created manually for the asset, which must have a corresponding asset in the CMMS. The asset type must specify that “Assets of this type support remove equipment requests” in its asset policies. For example:
