Understanding Asset Location Types
Asset location types define the details of asset or component storage and install locations.
Valid asset locations might be service points, other locations for installed assets, or any other location as defined by your organization, for example:
• General asset location types define a type of asset location that is used to indicate the physical location where assets or components are installed.
• Plant asset location types define a type of asset location for a fixed organizational structure such as a building, factory, or other facility.
• Linear asset location types define a type of asset location that is part of a system such as pipes and manholes or poles and cables.
Out of Service Location Types
Out of service location types define attributes of types of locations where assets that are out of service are stored and maintained. Examples of out of service locations include warehouses, storerooms, and repair shops.
Out of service location types are defined by the following:
• Class: The general class (storeroom, meter shop, etc.) of out of service locations of this type
• Location Business Object: The business object used for out of service locations of this type
• Valid Parent Location/Organization Types: One or more valid parent locations and parent organizations that can be referenced on out of service locations of this type. Used primarily for reporting.
