By linking component assets to resources in inventory, you can: • Identify individual component assets • Track an item as an inventory unit and as an asset. As a serialized resource unit in inventory, a component asset can be identified as a resource on a work order. As an asset, the component asset has its own maintenance program and work orders. • Track repairs performed on the component asset • Manage the replenishment of the serialized resource based on the total units In addition to tracking inventory balances, you can track information about the individual resource units using APM’s serialized inventory support for repairable spares. You can uniquely identify each unit of the serialized resource, track the current status of a unit, the condition of the unit, and the installation history.
