  • Track asset costs at the parent or component level.

  • Review up to 25 levels of parent and component relationships.

Topic Description
Changing equipment parent and component relationships You can make changes to asset parent and component relationships by changing the parent number for an asset on Asset Master.
Displaying parent information Select Display Parent to display a component's immediate parent.
Displaying the next component level Select Next Level to display all of the components of a specific asset. The component for which you select Next Level moves to the first display level, and its components display beneath it, according to the display level you choose.
Searching for similar assets by category codes You can search for all the assets with category codes that match those of a specified parent or component by selecting Search Like Equipment.
