Step 17: Manage Tracking Field Labels

Set up optional labels for use with the optional ability to enter additional inventory, maintenance, and transfer tracking data for your property records.

Although you can establish the labels at any time, you cannot enter the actual inventory, maintenance, and transfer data for a record until you have added the Asset Master for the record. (You can add the data for an existing master record even if you have not entered your own labels, although the data will be more meaningful with user-designated labels.)

You can set up inventory tracking labels for up to eight additional user-defined inventory categories, such as Counted By, Condition, and so on.

You can set up maintenance field labels for up to nine additional user-defined maintenance categories, such as Type, Vendor, Cost, and so on.

You can set up transfer tracking labels for up to eight additional user-defined transfer categories, such as Fld Chngd, From, To, Reason, and so on.

Note: You will most likely find that the new change/audit trail functions available for transfers in Fixed Assets are more powerful and flexible than the older transfer functions available from the Transfer Records menu. Make sure that you read item number 18 to determine the capability that will work best for you.
