Overview of Setting Up Sales Assets
The CRM Asset object is the default assets module in Oracle Sales. You can use it alone or you can enable Oracle SCM Installed Base Assets, which provides more functionality.
Setup Options for CX Assets in Sales
This table describes configuration options for CX Assets:
| Configuration Option | Description | Where to Find More Information |
|---|---|---|
| Asset security - review role requirements. | CX Assets uses the standard Oracle Fusion role-based security. Review the roles to see what you need to configure. | Access to Assets Through Roles and Privileges |
| You can use the default Oracle CX Assets functionality that
comes supplied with Sales. You can use Oracle SCM Installed Base Assets for
more features. Note: You can't use both assets products in
Sales.

The option you choose depends on your business needs. The default option lets your users do basic asset tracking. If you enable Oracle SCM Installed Base Assets, your users have extra capabilities to manage assets in Activities and in the Accounts pages. | Enable SCM Installed Base Assets in Activities and Accounts |
