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
- Open Vehicles › Tyre/Asset Tracking and click Add Asset.
- Enter the Serial Number from the sidewall or label. It must be unique; the form refuses a serial that already exists.
- Enter the Batch/Mfg Code if printed. Needed for a warranty claim later.
- Choose the Category and the Product. Only serialised products are offered. If the tyre size is missing, add it in Inventory first.
- Choose the Ownership. Company-owned for your own stock; use another value when a market vehicle’s owner supplied the tyre.
- Enter the Cost and the Payment Type, and the Manufacture Date and Purchase Date.
- 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.
- 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.
