What you can set for inventory
Default inventory settings
- By default in Aptien, you can run inventory on an employee or on a specific location such as a room or building. By default, you can also select a location from a list of your storage locations that you have specified.
- Similarly, listed specific asset records, such as mobile phone records, computer records from which assigned and inventoried assets are retrieved, are set by default.
What inventory settings affect
- The settings affect where the system will automatically retrieve locations and their equipment from when the inventory is run.
- By default, you have the system set up to take information from the default records. You can change this setting using the procedure below.
- So you can change both the list of locations and the location of assets and the records in which you keep assets in your company.
How you can change the default inventory settings
