Add a tyre or asset

You will have one tyre or asset on record with its own code and serial number, costed and paid, sitting In Store or already fitted to a vehicle.

Add Asset under Vehicles › Tyre/Asset Tracking creates one asset record. Use it when a tyre arrives without a purchase invoice, when you are entering the tyres already on your trucks at go-live, or for a single battery or GPS unit. For a box of new tyres bought from a supplier, a purchase invoice with a serialised product is quicker.

Before You Start

  • The product (brand, size, pattern) exists under Inventory › Products with Track as serialized asset switched on.
  • The Category and Ownership values you need exist under Settings › Asset Settings › Dropdown Values.
  • A Payment Type exists under Settings › Payment Type if you are recording the cost as paid.
  • If you want to fit it straight away, the vehicle has a position layout chosen under Other layouts on its record.

Steps

  1. Open Vehicles › Tyre/Asset Tracking and click Add Asset.
  2. Enter the Serial Number from the sidewall or label. It must be unique; the form refuses a serial that already exists.
  3. Enter the Batch/Mfg Code if printed. Needed for a warranty claim later.
  4. Choose the Category and the Product. Only serialised products are offered. If the tyre size is missing, add it in Inventory first.
  5. Choose the Ownership. Company-owned for your own stock; use another value when a market vehicle’s owner supplied the tyre.
  6. Enter the Cost and the Payment Type, and the Manufacture Date and Purchase Date.
  7. Tick Assign to vehicle now if the item is going straight onto a truck. Choose the vehicle and the position on its layout; the status becomes Installed and First Fitted is set to today.
  8. Click Save. The asset gets a code and appears in the list.

What This Changes

  • A new row in Vehicles › Tyre/Asset Tracking with a TYR code, Status In Store (or Installed if assigned now).
  • If assigned now, the vehicle’s Tyre/Asset Tracking tab shows the item on its position and First Fitted is filled in.
  • The Cost with a Payment Type leaves the mapped cash or bank account.
  • The Excel export of the list includes the new item.

Tips

  • At go-live, walk round each truck and add its tyres with Assign to vehicle now, position by position; that gives you the starting point for life tracking.
  • Leave Cost blank rather than guessing if you do not know it; you can edit the asset later.
  • Photograph the sidewall serial before fitting; it is hard to read once the wheel is on.
