Asset Mapping

Asset mapping records the factors that adjust the cost of assets. Adjustments depend on the Condition, Value Basis, Cost List, and Cost Method fields for each asset. These factors are used to calculate the Asset Values and the Replacement Costs on the Asset Valuation screen. For more information, see Value View.

NOTE:  Asset mapping applies to product lines and to all assets that belong to the same product line and cost list.

To map the cost of assets for specific product lines

1. Navigate to the Administration - Pricing screen > Cost List screen.
2. Select a cost list and click the Asset Mapping view tab.
3. In the Asset Mapping form, click New and complete the fields as appropriate.

   NOTE:  The Cost Method field should match the cost method used in the Cost List Line Items view.

4. In the Cost Field field, select Asset Value or Replacement.

   Asset value and Replacement specify two different methods of calculating the cost. For more information, see Value View.

   NOTE:  To assign the same factor to various cases of Condition and Value Basis, leave these values blank in the corresponding records and add a value for Factor. This factor applies to all of the unspecified cases of Condition, Value Basis, or both. If another record specifies either Condition or Value Basis, that record overrides the default record.

   If there are no asset mapping records and a cost list is specified, the Value view (for more information, see Value View) uses the asset cost from the Cost List Line Items view. For more information, see Pricing Administration Guide.

1. Navigate to the Assets screen > List view.
2. Drill down on the Asset # field for a selected asset and click the Preventive Maintenance view tab.
3. Click Plans in the link bar, add a record and complete the fields as appropriate.
