The Create / Edit Customer Owned Asset Page

An overview of the Create / Edit Customer-Owned Asset page in Texada Web.

Customer-owned Assets are an optional feature and are disabled by default.

To enable customer-owned Assets, check the "Customer Owned Equipment" checkbox in the Inventory Parameters utility in Texada SRM. For more information, see "Customer Owned Assets".

Introduction

A customer-owned Asset is an Asset that is owned by one of your customers instead of your organization. Customer-owned Assets allow you to create Work Orders for Assets without registering them to your organization’s inventory.

The Create / Edit Customer Owned Asset page is used whenever you create a new customer-owned Asset or edit an existing customer-owned Asset. The following article will provide a detailed breakdown of this screen.

Create / Edit Customer Owned Asset Page

  1. Product #
    The Asset’s Product number. In cases where an Asset owned by your organization was sold to a Customer, this will be the Asset’s Product number from when it was in your organization’s inventory. When creating a customer-owned Asset from scratch, this value can be set freely, though it cannot be the same as an existing Product in your system.
  2. Customer Equipment ID
    The Asset’s ID in the Customer’s system. Equivalent to the External/Customer ID field in Texada SRM. This field is useful for cross-referencing Assets with your Customers’ inventory systems.
