Details

FieldDescription
Display nameDisplay name of the model. The display name is generated from the Manufacturer and Name field.
ManufacturerName of the model manufacturer.
Short descriptionDescription of the model.
Model categoriesModel categories that the model can be associated with. Model categories are used to create configuration items \(CIs\) and assets.
Asset tracking strategyAsset tracking for the model.
Useful life \(months\)Number of months that the hardware model can be used for.
Asset tracking unitUnit that is used to measure the asset.
Acquisition methodMethod the assets or CIs were procured.
CostCost of the an individual model.
DepreciationDepreciation scheme of the model.
Salvage valueAn estimate of the residual value of the model.
NameName of the model.
Model numberThe number that identifies the model. This number can be defined internally or by the manufacturer of the model.
BarcodeBar code that identifies the model.
OwnerThe person responsible for the model.
StatusStatus of the hardware model, which is being inherited from the product model.This field is hidden when you’ve opted in for the Common Service Data Model \(CSDM\).
Life Cycle StageStage in the overall life cycle of hardware assets and CIs as related to their products.This field appears only when you’ve opted in for the Common Service Data Model \(CSDM\).
Life Cycle Stage StatusStatus in the overall life cycle of hardware assets and CIs as related to their products.This field appears only when you’ve opted in for Common Service Data Model \(CSDM\).
Expenditure typeType of expenditure.
CertifiedOption that indicates if a model is certified for use.
Calculated lifecycle templateApplied template to calculate life cycle dates.
Calculated lifecycle start dateDate to apply the template and derive the final dates for each phase defined in the template.
TCO benchmark costBenchmark cost of the asset model.Note: Amount displayed in the currency specified on the model record.
TCO benchmark threshold

The threshold value of your asset model cost identifying that the asset is reaching the TCO benchmark cost value. The benchmark threshold is set to 75% of the TCO benchmark cost by default.

For example, if you set the TCO benchmark cost of an asset model as $1000, the TCO benchmark threshold is set to $750 automatically.

Use the system property sn_itam_common.asset_tco_benchmark_threshold_percentage to update the threshold percentage.

Note: Amount displayed in the currency specified on the model record.

Vendor Catalog Items

FieldDescription
NameName of the vendor catalog item.
Product IDThe item identification number assigned by your organization.
Short DescriptionA brief description of the item.
Vendor PriceThe price at which the item is available in the vendor catalog. If the vendor offers a discount, the vendor price reflects the discounted price.
Rank TierDisplays the overall ranking for products and services of this vendor, such as Valued Partner or Tactical Supplier.

Hardware Model Lifecycles

FieldDescription
ModelName of the hardware model.
Lifecycle typeThe model lifecycle type values include:- Internal: The lifecycle date is specific to the customer (for example, based on their internal policy, based on a custom contract/agreement with the publisher). - Publisher: The lifecycle date comes from manufacturer and is not specific to a customer.
Lifecycle phasePhase of the life cycle for a hardware model.- General Availability: The date when the hardware becomes generally available through the manufacturer’s sales channels, including its worldwide subsidiaries, affiliates, and country distributors. The hardware is considered current/active and receiving support from the manufacturer. - End of Sale: The last date to order the hardware through the manufacturer’s sales channels, including its worldwide subsidiaries, affiliates, and country distributors. After end of sale date, the hardware is no longer available for sale. - End of Support: The last date upon which the manufacturer provides standard/regular support for the hardware as entitled by active service contracts. After this date, the manufacturer may continue to provide active support for certain issues in a limited capacity, the scope of which may vary across different manufacturers according to their lifecycle and/or support policies. - End of Extended Support: Up until this date, the manufacturer extends limited support for the hardware (after standard/regular support expires), for a defined period according to manufacturer policy. - End of Life: The date which indicates the hardware is at the end of its useful life (from the manufacturer’s point of view). The manufacturer stops marketing, selling, or sustaining the hardware.
