Chapter 2. Assets 21 2.2.2 Swap Assets See the icon of Swap Assets function in Figure 2- 10. Figure 2- 10 Swap Assets To replace one asset with another one, you may use the Swap Assets action. For example, you might specify a different location for the asset that you want to swap out. You can swap any number of assets at once by using the Swap Assets dialog box. You cannot use the Swap Assets action to move rotating assets from inventory locations; you must issue or transfer rotating assets using the inventory applications. Note the following information about swapping assets: If two assets share the same item set, you can swap both if they are defined as rotating item. You can swap them even if they are in different locations. If the replacing asset from another site or organization has the same asset identifier as an asset in your current site, IBM Maximo Asset Management prompts you to assign a new asset identifier to the replacing asset. Every asset within a site must have a unique identifier. The ability to swap assets to and from another site or organization depends upon your security authorization. 2.2.3 Move/ Swap/ Modify When working with Move/ Modify or Swap Assets, you can also perform a modification regarding the responsibility for this asset using the function User and Custodians that is available from other applications across IBM Maximo Asset Management such as: From Move/ Modify Assets action in the Assets application. From Associate User and Custodians action in the Assets application. From the Move/ Swap/ Modify action in the Work Order Tracking application. You use the Users and Custodians tab to associate an asset with a person as an user or as custodian or as both.
