Asset Transactions

Asset transactions with a value of Install, Uninstall, Upgrade, and Downgrade in the Type field maintain the installed base for an asset. Users must manually create these transactions.

For example, a computer has a defective disk drive that you must replace with another disk drive. Two asset transactions affect the change. The first transaction shows the removal of the defective disk drive from the computer. The second transaction shows the installation of the new disk drive in the computer.

If an asset has components, then a transaction for that asset automatically includes its components.
