Placing bulk CIs in inventory

After you create Bulk Inventory CIs,  you must add an inventory location to them.

Tip

If you do not see a location, make sure that the CI has a CI type of inventory location, and not physical location. For information about creating inventory locations, see Creating-inventory-location-CIs.

To place bulk CIs in inventory

  1. On the Asset Management console, from the navigation pane, choose Functions > Manage CIs.
  2. In the Select a CI Type dialog box, from the Type list, select Bulk Inventory > Bulk Inventory, and click Search.
  3. From the search results, open the bulk CI.
  4. On the Inventory Location tab, click Add.
  5. In the Search Inventory Locations dialog box, specify the search criteria and click Search.
  6. From the Results List table, select a location and click Relate.
     A message appears stating that the selected inventory location has been related to the bulk inventory record.
  7. In the message about the relationship, click OK.
    On the Bulk Inventory form, the Inventory Location tab lists each of the related locations.
  8. If the inventory is stored in multiple locations, for each location, repeat step 6 and step 7.
  9. Click Close.
    On the Bulk Inventory form, the Inventory Location tab lists each of the related locations. 
  10. Click the Quantity Per Location field for a location, and type the quantity in that location. 
    Continue to enter the quantity for each location, until all the quantity in stock for the bulk CI is accounted for.

  11. Click Save.

Important

When you save the Bulk Inventory CIs by entering the quantity received in the Received Quantity field, the Quantity In Stock field is automatically updated with the quantity entered in the Received Quantity field. However, if you allocate some or all of this quantity to a location and then enter additional quantity for the same Bulk Inventory CI, the Quantity in stock field does not get updated. Also, you cannot allocate this additional quantity to any location. 

For example, you receive 50 bulk inventory CIs, enter the quantity received in the Received Quantity field, and allocate 30 CIs to location A. You then receive 20 more CIs for the same Bulk Inventory CIs and enter 20 in the Received Quantity field. But the Quantity in stock field does not get updated with the 20 additional CIs, and you cannot allocate these 20 CIs to any location. Which means, you can only allocate the 20 CIs that are remaining from the first lot of 50 CIs entered and updated in the Quantity In Stock field, but not the 20 additional CIs.
