Creating Hospitality Assets
An asset is a specific physical instance of a product. End users reserve assets, not products. An asset can be associated with a specific property, and multiple assets can be associated with a single product. For example, a product called Piano can have the following assets:
- Yamaha Piano at New York property, Serial # 7896-0987
- Wurlitzer Piano at London property, Serial # Z765-9876
NOTE: An asset cannot be created unless a product for that asset has already been defined.
Optionally, preventive maintenance can be applied to an asset. For information about setting up and using preventive maintenance for an asset, see Siebel Field Service Guide. This task is a step in Process of Setting Up Products and Assets. To create an asset
- Navigate to the Assets screen > Assets List view.
- In the Assets list, create a new record, complete the fields, and save the record.
- In the new record, click the Asset # hyperlink.
The Assets Components view is displayed.
