To streamline the definition of multiple project assets that have similar attributes, you can use the Copy Asset option on the Assets and Asset Details windows to copy assets within a project. When you select an asset and choose the copy option, Oracle Projects copies the selected asset to a new row and opens the Copy To window. The Copy To window prompts you to enter values for several key asset attributes that define a unique asset. Oracle Projects prompts you to enter the following attributes on the Copy To page:

• Asset Name

• Asset Description

• Project Asset Type

  When you copy an asset, Oracle Projects copies the asset with the same project asset type. For estimated assets, you can optionally copy the asset as an as-built asset.

• Asset Date

  The date you enter varies according to the project asset type you select. The date can be an estimated date placed in service (Estimated project asset type), actual date placed in service (As-Built project asset type), or a retirement date (Retirement Adjustment project asset type).

• Units

  Similar to the asset date, the unit amount you enter varies according to the project asset type you select. The unit amount can be estimated units (Estimated project asset type), actual units (As-Built project asset type), or retirement units (Retirement Adjustment project asset type).

• Asset Number

When you enter attribute values in the Copy To window, you can also choose whether to copy the asset assignments. However, you cannot use the Copy Assets feature to copy asset lines or other asset information.
