PeopleSoft Asset Tracking, within the PeopleSoft Asset Physical Inventory solution, provides an intuitive, mobile tool for the management of physical company assets. PeopleSoft Asset Tracking replaces third party integrations as well as allows you to scan your assets to receive information about the asset from the repository. With this PeopleSoft solution, users can access the asset information they need directly from a mobile device, tablet or desktop.
To search for physical inventory, users can access the Physical Inventory tile and enter the Physical Inventory ID and scan a location, if applicable. A list of physical assets appears in a left pane.
Using a handheld scanner, users can scan the asset and the Scan Value from the barcode will automatically appear in the Scan Value field within the application. The application will then retrieve the asset from the asset repository and display the details of that particular scanned asset. Users can review and edit the information for that asset. Administrators will have the ability to set what information for each scanned asset can be edited by users. For example, users can edit information such as which custodian is assigned to each piece of equipment. Users can then select the Notify button from the menu to email that custodian and notify them of the update.
For items where the barcode is illegible or missing, PeopleSoft Asset Tracking makes it easy. Simply click the Find Asset button from the menu to find the asset within the system. Users can search by Unit, Asset ID, Tag, Serial ID, Mfg Name or Model and then select a button to manually scan the item to add it to the inventory list. The solution also makes adding new assets simple, allowing users to select a New Assets button from the menu to input asset information.
PeopleSoft Asset Tracking will automatically update scan locations for inventory when users enter a scan location in the Physical Inventory tile and be flagged for review. There is also a Scan By Location tile, which serves as an auditing tool that allows users to scan inventory and record a location, but not within the physical inventory process. This feature only allows users to update location rather than receive full editing capabilities like within the Physical Inventory tile. The “Force Asset Location Update” allows users to automatically revise the location of assets in the repository for all items scanned. Users will be able to go back and reference a scan history to see all of an asset’s locations.
PeopleSoft Asset Tracking simplifies asset management by allowing users to easily update and monitor asset information and location while on the go.
