Setting up asset tracking
To set up asset tracking in inFlow, you can create locations to represent your employees or jobs and products to represent your assets.
For example, if you need to assign a computer to “John Doe” we’ll need to complete the following steps:
- Create locations for both “Main Warehouse” and “John Doe.”
- Create the asset product for “Computer.”
- Use stock transfers to move the asset.
Create locations
- Go to the Inventory settings. (Main Menu>Settings>Inventory)
- Select Locations.
- Click Add location, and enter the name of the employee in the Location name field.
- Click the back arrow to add additional locations, or click Save when done.
Create asset products
- From the Main Menu, click on the Create new button, then Product.
- Enter the asset in the Product name field, then select the product type below.
- Click Create when done.
Move products with stock transfers
- From the Main Menu, click on the Create new button > Transfer.
- Select the source location (Main Warehouse) and select the destination location (John Doe.) This will allow you to move the computer from “Main Warehouse” to “John Doe.”
This is trackable via the product history, the transfer#, and also the location itself (representing the person).
Locating assets on the product record
If you check the product record right after, you’ll be able to see where and who has taken an asset.
To return this asset back to the supply, you would do another stock transfer with the locations reversed.
You can even rename some of the fields in inFlow to match your business lingo — e.g., “Location” to “Employee” or “Product” to “Asset”.
Locating assets with reports
For further tracking of your assets take a look at the below reports in inFlow.
