Assets in the Asset Tree

Purpose

An Asset is a physical asset that can be maintained, assessed and/or for which its performance can be tracked. An Asset is based on an Asset Type that provides the underlying structure of Components and Tasks that are inherited from the Asset Type.

For example, “Motor” or “Gearbox”.

Rotable Items

An Asset in a Filled Asset Placeholder is called a “Rotable Item” if it can be moved to different positions in the Asset Tree.

The Asset can be:

Created to fill the Asset Placeholder by selecting the Linked Asset Type.
Replaced by another Asset with the same Asset Type that is moved from another position in the Asset Tree.

Business rules

Work Orders can only be created for an Asset with Maintain this Asset (MSI) ticked on the Asset-Details tab.

Please note!

Assets only appear in the Asset Tree.
The Inheritance Type on the Asset-Header tab indicates whether the Asset was inherited from the Asset Type Tree or originated in the Asset Tree.
The Asset inherits these items from the Asset Type on which it is based:
Failure Analysis, Attributes, Documents, Notes
Asset Components and Asset Tasks
