Tracking Laptops / Asset Tracking

Prey, while a software offering, has proved to be quite useful and popular in the forums.

What's everyone using to track devices? Trying to avoid software unless it's at the bios level but I was looking at using TILE's for some of our devices for tracking purposes. Anybody using them or something similar? Here is a link to their site....

Asset tracking program

Hi all
there is a program that im not sure how to go about doing, that wants to create an asset t-racking program that will track 4 types of assets: electronics, automobiles, furniture and cd's. Which classes would you use to design this program? would you define four unrelated classes or one superclass and four subclasses? if you design a superclass, will it be an abstract superclass?
Implement the asset tracking program. allow the user to add, modify and delete electronic appliances, auto's, furniture and cd's. allow the user to list the assets by category and search for an asset by its serial number...
I was thinking of utilizing an arraylists in this program. Any suggestions on how to approach this problem would be great thanks :/

I'd start with a pencil and a blank sheet of paper. An abstract Asset class and concrete child classes seem to be a good place to start. What information is common to all your assets? For example, asset number, asset description, purchase date, purchase price, accumulated depreciation, current location.
What information is unique to the child classes? Serial numbers on automobiles and electronic gear? Automobiles have lots of identification numbers: engine numbers, VINs, registration, insurance. CDs have a title and artist(s) with tracks. Furniture is different again, type (desk, chair, etc), colour, finish.
You need another class with collections of assets, perhaps AssetRegister. This is the class you put methods in to list and search assets.

TRACK AS ASSET

Hello All
Fixed Asset Users Guide stated that one of the conditions for asset invoice line distributions to be imported is that "The Track As Asset check box is checked. (It is automatically checked if the account is an Asset account)"
The problem is not all our assets are fixed assets (e.g. Cash). I wanted only fixed assets to be transferred to FA Module. Since all "asset account" are automatically checked, all assets entries in AP are being transferred to FA Module, when it should not(e.g. cash).
What should I do to prevent the automatic "check for track as asset" for some of my assets?
Thanks a lot..
Emgee

Hi,
Altough for all the assets accounts track as an asset checked there wont be any entries transferred to Fixed assets unless otherwise you have defined that asset account as a clearing account in your categoris.
Please let me know if you need further details,
Thanks and Regards,

Asset tracking software

Hi,
I'm looking for some asset tracking software to monitor and manage around 1,000 Windows machines (various OS) and 500 thin clients. Being able to report on hardware/software config and metering the devices to prevent unauthorised/unlicensed software
from being run are also requirements.
I've used Express Metrix before, but have been unimpressed with the interface. Would anybody be happy to give their opinions on applications they've used before with pros/cons?
Cheers
Andy

For assest tracking software, you can try this Assest management software (
http://www.itassetmanagementtool.com/ ) to track, manage software inventory. It helps generating different report that help convening available licenses .

Asset Tracking Module -Can I track part of any item..?

Hello, I wonder in Asset Tracking module can I track any item part of an item. Example I have an A item and also B item. B item is part of A item. Can I track B item in asset tracking module and how?
Thanks.

If you are using EAM, then you can define the Printer as parent asset and Cartridge as child asset and establish the Parent-Child relationship.

Functionality / modules currently available in MySAP for asset tracking.

Hi All,
We have a new requirement in the asset accounting. If any one have come accross can you let me know the feasibility and the process.
1.Functionality / modules currently available in MySAP for asset tracking.
2.Could MySAP support data input from other external devices e.g. scanner.
3.What kind of asset level info is stored in MySAP and how they are modified along the asset life cycle
Thanks nd Regards
Srihari Bolla

Yes this is possible.
In the asset itself you have the fields Last inventory on and Include asset in inventory list
From SAP you can print barcodes (asset and asset sub number) that you can put on your assets TC S_ALR_87010137 - Bar Codes . There is a standard SAP script for this, but you can create your own one.
The date you want to use for your tracking you can get ot ouf the table ANLA
For all the barcode's reader there is software that can create a file. This file you upload with an LSMW in SAP that updates the field Last inventory on.

SGD, inventory management & asset tracking functions

Is anyone using an app that allows scheduling of the servers within the database & displaying in with the main body @ single sign-on using the current UI?
If so, please point me in the direction - I've pieced together a few apps that do what I need & can be displayed on the webtop, but this isn't seemless. The inventory & asset management should come from the existing db - that part shouldn't be too hard.

Thanks for responding - I've finally had some time to finish digging through all the docs
For my business need I'm using sgd as a central portal to manage resources inside a development lab & provide statistical accounting on activity per user/project.
*ens already provides the user > app relationship based on rights displayed on left panel display - default setup
**Asset tracking, monitoring, resource management, reporting & basic datacenter management all rolled into the default page.
*central management - done currently with root or Admin profile - this right grants all access
** "sub-admin role " this role can be limited to only modify rights for current group membership - nothing under parent "ROOT"
My current workaround involves:
OCS-NG - inventory & automated package deployment
OSSIM - monitoring
GLPI - frontend for ocs data - helpdesk UI -
These apps that launch within webtop - to make it easy
*** guess I just need to build the correct JSP & integrate into default login for user
user A logins > SGD (single sign-on integration with all three apps & custom webtop displayed)
*** Director structure is setup in SGD already - so most of the RMS type activities just need to be setup in the database tree & displayed ** think I found this through custom app via NetBeans, SunStudio , Glassfish/sailfish
I'll stop for now I can go on & about all the ways this product can be used.
Thanks for reading > currently playing with NBIDE6 to see if I can whip something up over the weekend to test.

Linking asset tracking tables

Hi all,
Can anyone help me with connecting tables mtl_material_transactions and fa_mass_additions.
I am using asset tracking, and after issuing item from inventory, it finishes in FA. How can I now which mass_addition belong to which material_transaction?
Best regards, Thanks for help

Varun,
Can you tell me the linking of FI tables with different modules
It would require a book to answer your question. Log onto a system and look at the repository (SE84), which contains info about tables and fields and programs that link objects.
which are the important fields in those tables.
All fields are important.
Unfortunately, this forum is not suitable for this type of question. I encourage you to obtain one of the many FI textbooks available and study this. Also, SAP offers many fine FI classes which would be another opportunity for you to get the basic FI knowledge you require.
Best Regards,

Is Asset Tracking module mandatory for Oracle Install Base implementation?

In the Oracle Install Base implementation guide, it is mentioned that Asset Tracking (previously Enterprise Install Base) Module is mandatory. Our situation does not warrant to implement asset tracking. Do we need to get separate license for Asset tracking if we need to implement Install base? Any insight on this would be highly helpful. Thanks

ARD ...asset tracking and management

Why doesn't ARD have automated asset tracking? I administrate a small company with a WAN based over 4 sites and ARD 2.2 does us very well for most aspects of IT management..it falls down on asset management.
Does anyone know of a good reasonably priced asset tracker/manager that will work with ARD? I have looked at Filewave's Asset Manager but it is too expensive. Any ideas, I need to auto track and keep records of our hardware and software.

Does anyone know of a good reasonably priced asset tracker/manager that will work with ARD?
Nothing that will do it automatically. You can export reports from ARD and then import them into a asset manager such as Computer Admin Pro.

Asset tracking

Hello,
Is there a way to strip the paths of imported assets in a premiere pro project ?
Identical to the asset tracking system in 3D studio max ?
Thanks in advance

Out of curiosity.
My goal is to make the asset paths relative instead of absolute
What does this mean in regard to Premiere?

Asset procurement-tracking of assets

Please suggest solutions for the below scenarios. I will be very thankful to you for your precious suggestion.
Asset tracking:
How to effectively manage enterprise IT assets (hardware, software, and infrastructure devices), what IT assets you have, where they are located, who is using them, and how they are changing over time and how we can track them.
Also how to map Critical business issues that IT asset tracking including: license compliance and desktop standards enforcement.
Scenario-1:
Suppose if you procured 70 computers (assets) for your organization. 50 computers are assigned to 50 people across various locations. Balance of 20 computers are not assigned to anybody.
We have to map this scenario in SAP like:
1.How to track the quantity of assets procured.
2.How to track the quantity of assets assigned to particular people, where they are located and which computer is assigned to whom.
3.If we want to transfer computer from one location to other location how it will be mapped and how we can track (just like in an IT organization environment).
Scenario-2:
Suppose if you procured 50 router switch. Out of 50 ports, 30 ports are connected and 20 are free i.e., 30 ports are assigned to 30 users and 20 ports are not assigned to anybody.
We have to map this scenario in SAP like:
1.How to track which port is assigned to whom.
2.Track how many ports are connected and how many ports are not connected.
Scenario-3:
Suppose if you have taken 50 user license for SAP. Out of 50, 25 users login was given and they are utilizing their login. For other 25 no login was provided.
We have to map this scenario in SAP like:
1.How to track number of users utilizing user license and how many are not.

Hi,
1) You need to have both material code and asset master for procurement. While creating PO fill account assignment as A, and give the Asset code.
2) In j1id, under Mateiral and chapter ID combination , enter the material code, plant, and declare as Asset. Then system will automatically takes care of availment of 50% CEnvat this year and rest in the next year.
3)GR is asusual and Invoice Verification also.
Reward if useful.
Create Asset code from Fi. and Create PO with Acct assgmnt cat as"A" then enter the Asset code in the Item detail tab of the PO as Asset no,do the GR.
And Also following a/c entries will happen in the system.
During excise invoice verification
Cenvat account Credit RG23C (50%) Dr
Education cess Credit RG23C( 50%) Dr
Higher edu cess Credit Rg23C (50%) Dr
Cenvat account on Hold RG23C (50%) Dr
Education cess on Hold RG23C( 50%) Dr
Higher edu cess on Hold Rg23C (50%) Dr
Cenvat clearing acc Cr
During invoice verification
Cenvat clearing account Dr
GR/IR clearing account Dr
Vendor Cr
In the subsequent year for reversal of cenvat on hold account to cenvat account, the accounting entry will be as follows
Cenvat account Credit RG23C (50%)Dr
Education cess Credit RG23C ( 50%)Dr
Higher edu cess Credit Rg23C (50%)Dr
Cenvat account Credit on Hold RG23C (50%)Cr
Educational cess on Hold RG23C ( 50%)Cr
Higher edu cess on Hold Rg23C (50%)Cr
