You may need to move assets from one organization (often a different location) to another organization for different reasons, to replace a failed asset , or to borrow an asset for a particular job or project.

The Asset Move Workbench enables you to transfer an asset and its child assets from one maintenance organization to another as a single unit, and the parent child asset relationships are preserved.

This feature also enables you to move assets using the EAM user interface by minimizing the dependency on the Inventory user interface to carry out asset transfer transactions. You can perform a miscellaneous receipt of the assets within EAM, using the Asset Move page. EAM performs a miscellaneous receipt of an asset if there is no quantity available in the expense subinventory. This process does not track the quantity for the asset. These miscellaneous receipts are done at zero cost, and are placed in an expense intermediate subinventory.

The following entities will also move with the asset:

• Activities: if the Activity Definition is assigned to the destination organization. If not, you will need to use the Activity Workbench to assign an activity to the new organization.

• PM schedules

• Meters

• Failure history and setup

These entities do not move with the asset:

• Work orders

• Routing

• Cost history

• Collection plans

You can move assets, including any child assets, between organizations and sub-inventories only.

After you have performed the asset move, you can manually adjust the asset hierarchy using the Asset Hierarchy page or the Graphical Network Page.
