Publish an asset to the hardware catalog so that you can procure the asset by using the Telecommunications Network Inventory application integration with the Hardware Asset Management application.

## Before you begin

Before you can publish an asset to the hardware catalog, make sure that an inventory model record has already been created for that asset. If there's no record, you can create an inventory model record. To learn more, see [Create inventory models](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/nc25yxLMMjHEnPV6HtY1KQ "As an inventory catalog manager, you can use a series of forms to define the metadata for each network model in the Telecommunications Network Inventory. During this process, you also specify the relationships between each of these models.").

Role required: sn_ni_core.inventory_admin, sn_ni_core.telco_inventory_catalog_manager
