Asset Types relate to Asset records and is used to define the different categories of Assets to be tracked. Subtypes can be used to further refine the Type. Both the Code and Description fields are required as well as one or more Repair Centers.
The Usage Rates Section includes a simple Flat Rate charge for the Asset Type when an Asset of that Type is designated on a Work Order. Enter fees here that are available when entering Other Charges on the Work Order.
The Cost Tab displays the total costs of all items for this Lookup Type.
Examples: chair, file cabinet, computer, copier, table
Rates Tab
If you use the additional Events, Facilities Scheduler, or Fleet Management modules, a Rates Tab is available to enter values.
Settings on this Tab do not transfer automatically to a new Asset record. Note that the Rentable check box must be marked on both the Asset Types Rate Tab as well as the individual Asset Rate Tab to be eligible for rent.
If the Rentable check box is clear on the Type record, no Assets of that Type are eligible for rental, regardless of data added to the individual Asset Rates Tab.
