    About this task

    You can release all assets or select a few assets to release from a user-assembled asset, pre-assembled asset, and a single asset. If you release all assets, they automatically go back to the parent stockroom. If you selectively release a few assets, you need to select the stockroom that you want the assets to go back to.

    You can release all assets if they are in the following states:
    • Build
    • Retired and pending disposal sub state
    • In-stock and pending disposal sub state
    You can release selective assets if they are in the following states:
    • In-Use: assets should not be required or an add-on asset
    • In-Maintenance: assets should not be required or an add-on asset
    • In-stock and pending disposal sub state: assets should not be required or an add-on asset
    • In-stock and pending repair sub state: assets should not be required or an add-on asset

    Procedure

    1. Navigate to All > Enterprise Asset Workspace > Enterprise asset estate.
    2. Open the parent asset record from which you want to release assets.
    3. Select Release All Assets or Release assets.
      Based on the state of the asset, Release All Assets or Release assets is visible.
      1. If you are releasing all assets, select Release assets in the warning message that appears asking you to confirm the release of all assets.
      2. If you are releasing selective assets, select a stockroom in the Release child assets dialog box and then select Release assets.
      The assets are released to the parent stockroom and move to In stock state. The selectively chosen assets are returned to the stockroom that you choose. Based on the hierarchy of the parent asset, the assets are released:
      • Pre-assembled asset: All the add-on assets are released but not the child assets.
      • User-assembled: All the add-on assets as well as the child assets are released.
      • Simple assets: Only the add-on assets are released, as simple assets don't have child assets associated with them.
