Reconcile IT Assets

Reconcile IT Assets

Merge duplicated asset details. The asset that was created last will be retained.

Use Case: Say an asset was created as follows,
  1. An asset is created manually by a user with a unique name.
Or,
  1. An asset is created by AssetExplorer via purchase order - When an asset item is received via purchase order, an corresponding asset is logged under Assets module with the PO name.
After the asset is assigned to a user/department and scanned,
  1. The asset will be identified with its machine name.
  2. A duplicate asset with the scanned data will be created in AssetExplorer.
On reconciling, the vendor details, cost details, and purchase order ID will be updated to the scanned asset details.
