Add an Inventory Item Condition

Use the following procedure to add an inventory item condition:

1.  Select Room Inspection > Inventory > Inventory Item Conditions from the Setup > Maintenance menu. The Conditions page is displayed.

2.  Click Add. A new row is displayed at the bottom of the grid.

3.  Enter information in the fields provided.

•     *Display Name: Enter an item display name (for example, Factory New). This information will display on the Room Inspection page and on reports.

•     Description: Enter a description of the inventory item condition (for example, Straight From the Factory).

•     *Abbreviation: Enter an abbreviation of the inventory item condition (for example, New).

•     *Display Order: Indicate the order in which the inventory item condition should display.

•     Initial: To make this condition the default selection when a new asset is created, check the Initial check box.

•     *Active: Specify whether the inventory item condition is active by selecting Yes or No from the drop-down list.

•     *Require Follow Up: Check this check box to specify whether follow up is required on this inventory item condition. For example, an inventory item assigned a Damaged condition would require follow up to verify that the damage had been repaired.

Note: The read-only In Use column provides information about whether the inventory item condition is used in one or more room inspections and is not applicable when you are adding a new inventory item condition.

•     To add an indication that the condition can be used for billing purposes, check the Billable check box. The Billable setting is not tied to charges via the Financial Transactions module; however, it can be used as a visual indicator that the condition can be used for generating charges during a room inspection.

•     If the Billable check box is selected, select a Billable Transaction Code. The code is used for generating charges when performing a room inspection with inventory items with a billable condition.

4.  Click Save. The Inventory item condition successfully added message is displayed.
