About this task
Allocating an asset makes it a financial liability. After all pre-allocated assets have been allocated, the pre-allocated asset record is removed from the asset list.
Procedure
Navigate to All > Asset > Portfolios > All Assets.
Filter the Substate column to show only Pre-allocated assets.
Select the reference icon in the row containing the asset to allocate.
Select Allocate at the bottom of the form.
Note: If the glide.asset.create_ci_with_ire property is set to
true, a form appears when you click Allocate. On the form, fill in the Asset tag, Serial number, and Reserved for fields, then click OK.
Result
The system creates and navigates to a new asset record, which has the same model and parent information as the pre-allocated asset. The new asset has a Quantity of one, while the pre-allocated asset's Quantity is reduced by one.
