Learning Objectives At the end of this course, you will be able to:– Describe Fluid.– Explain device and connectivity requirements for Fluid.– Explain the function of the new Inventory Scanner role for AssetManagement.– Prepare for transition into Fluid.– For Physical Inventory Processors: Set Up and Process PhysicalInventory.4

Asset Management for Inventory ScannersOVERVIEW OF THE CORE-CT 9.2UPGRADE5

Upgrading to 9.2 Asset Management addition of the new Fluid User Interface. The new Fluid User Interface will:– Eliminate a number of setup steps for physical inventory, therebyincreasing efficiency.– Centralize data access through the asset repository.– Modernize technology through integration of new mobilescanning devices for physical inventory scanning .6

Core-CT 9.2 Upgrade Timeline User Acceptance Testing (UAT) began in mid-January. Go Live is scheduled for March 13.7

Asset Management for Inventory ScannersINTRODUCTION TO FLUID8

What is Fluid? Fluid is a new interface that provides direct access to CoreCT through a connected mobile device. Fluid will seamlessly interact with the Asset Repository.– The connected devices communicate directly with the AssetRepository via the web.– Data will not be saved on mobile devices, but will connect directlyto Core-CT. Inventory Scanners will be using Fluid to scan assets, retrieveand display real-time asset information, and automaticallystage the physical inventory.9

Fluid Video Asset Tracking10

Advantages to Fluid Mobile ScanningThe Fluid Mobile Scanning will: No longer support the Intermec Scanner. Maintain asset scan data in the scan history. Eliminate processing steps, creating fewer errors, due toelimination of:– Flat file upload– Flat file download– Extract file11

Asset Tracking Homepage The Asset Tracking Homepage will provide real time accessto the Asset Repository. The Physical Inventory Tile is hosted on the Asset TrackingHomepage and is accessible via navigation in Core-CT fromthe mobile device. It is important to note that access to tiles on the AssetTracking Homepage is determined by role.– Inventory Scanners will see the Physical Inventory, ScanAsset, and Find Asset tiles.12

Asset Tracking Homepage13

Overview of Tiles From the Physical Inventory Tile, the following activities canbe performed:– Mobile physical inventory.– Scan assets.– Retrieve and display asset information from the Asset Repositoryin real time.– Automatically populate the physical inventory interface and scanhistory tables with scan data. From the Scan Asset Tile:– Retrieve general information about an asset by scanning abarcode. From the Find Asset Tile:– Retrieve general information about an asset without scanning abarcode.14

Perform Physical Inventory forAssets in the RepositoryAsset Management for Inventory Scanners22

Perform Physical Inventory for Assets in the Repository Before Inventory Scanners may scan assets in the repository,Physical Inventory Processors must first define the InventoryOccurrence (PI ID) and generate the Scan Scope.– If these steps are not complete, the inventory scanner will not seeany assets to perform physical inventory in Fluid. The Inventory Scanner will scan an asset barcode to performphysical inventory and populate the Physical Inventory andScan History tables with scan records.23

Asset Management for Physical Inventory ProcessorsSETUP FOR PHYSICAL INVENTORYSCANNING105

Defining Inventory OccurrenceAsset Management for Asset Processors106

Defining Inventory Occurrence The Define Inventory Occurrence page establishes a physicalinventory ID and defines the scan scope within AssetManagement for each physical inventory. Scan scopes must be defined for mobile physical inventory,the scan scope should include the area of the actual scan. Each physical inventory occurrence must have a uniquePhysical Inventory ID.– When creating a physical inventory ID, it is important to note thatspaces may not be used.107

Scan ScopeAsset Management for Physical Inventory Processors119

Scan Scope After defining the inventory occurrence, continue on to theLoad/Match/Reconcile Process. Generating the scan scope is step 1 of 4 in the Load/Match/ReconcileProcess. The process automatically defines a set of assets to be scanned andsends list to the Physical Inventory page accessible via mobile device. In Core-CT 9.2, each PI ID must have a unique run control inLoad/Match/Reconcile.– The run control created for the PI ID may only be used for that specific PI ID.120
