Asset fields
Field
Description
General
Asset tag
If applicable, enter the asset's RFID tag code. RFID tags can be read by an RFID scanner. The Asset tag field is typically used to find a match between an asset's scanned RFID code and the code entered here. Currently, only Planon-AppSuite supports RFID scanning.
* 
depending on your use case, you can also use this field to register unique IDs other than RFID tags.
BIM GUID
The BIM GUID was used to identify assets for BIM viewer.
Following the activation of the improved feature Discontinue support for BIM GUID field, the functionality behind this field is deprecated and is replaced by BIM system BO links.
Code
Asset codes are used to uniquely identify an asset. Asset codes are either generated and displayed automatically in this field or they must be entered manually.
* 
For more information on configuring automatic code generation, see Using macros to specify a default value ( Field definer ).
Planon products such as apps (AppSuite, Planon Live app) use this code to find matches with scanned QR or bar codes.
Cost center
Select a relevant cost center for the asset.
Description
Enter a relevant description for the asset.
Main asset
If an asset is a sub asset, use this field to specify the ID code and a description of the main asset.
This field enables you to add a sub asset to another main asset, by selecting one from the pick list.
Of department
Select the department that owns the asset.
It is recommended to use either the Of person or the Of department field, not both, since the use of both fields increases the chance of errors.
Of person
If applicable, select the person who owns the asset. This list contains people from the Personnel TSI.
Simple
Use this Yes / No field to specify whether or not the selected asset is a simple asset, which means it consists of one single asset.
If you select No, it means that the asset is a multiple asset.
Replacement for asset
If applicable, select the asset that is replaced by the selected asset, from the Replacement for asset dialog box. On the action panel, click OK followed by Save. The Question dialog opens. Select either Yes or No to indicate whether the replaced asset should be marked as disposed. If you select Yes and Proceed, the status of the replaced asset is set to Disposed.

* 
This field is especially convenient if you do not use SLAs / Service agreements or a priority matrix to automatically determine the order's priority. If you use this field, but also use SLAs / Service agreements / a priority matrix, their priorities will overrule the value coming from this field.
