Stockrooms are places to which assets are assigned.

When stock is low on a particular asset, stock rules can either notify an asset manager or automatically transfer inventory from one stockroom to another.

Stockrooms are separate, standalone entities in the Asset Management application.
* **[Stock rules](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/3oeoZ~1g5OOH2INsPHK8cQ)**   
  Stock rules are defined criteria stating that when the inventory of a particular asset in a particular stockroom reaches a specified threshold, a certain number should either be transferred from another stockroom or ordered from a vendor.
