created by you. You have the option to name the tabs according to
your business needs.As it will be explained later in this guide,
Regions, Sites, and Buildings are Shell types.

Asset Creation
The Asset Creator process simplifies and automates the creation of asset records and all related
objects. During asset creation process, the user will populate all asset data that are specific to
this asset instance, for example, Serial Number, Location, Install date, In-Service Date,
Purchase Price, and so forth. All other asset data that are common (with similar type of asset)
can be automatically populated by selecting an Asset Template. (see the next topic, below).
Once the asset creation is submitted, the actual Asset record is auto-created along with the
corresponding preventive maintenance book record (PM BOOK) for the asset (assuming
preventive maintenance is required, as well as the Meter Readings record for this asset).
Note: Oracle does not recommend creating new Assets directly from the
Assets log menu, as many of the necessary related records will have to
be manually created.
Asset Templates
Asset Templates are used to store the common asset data (manufacturer, model number, and
so forth) for assets of the same type. It is meant to simplify and ensure consistency among asset
of similar types. As outlined in the topic above, Asset Templates are used by the Asset Creator
process.
68
Unifier Facilities Management
Assets by Type
You can organize assets by type, manufacturer, or other attributes in the Assets Log. By default,
assets are grouped in the left Navigator of the log by Type and then by Manufacturer.
Asset Warranty
Each asset has data fields to capture warranty information such as:
Warranty name
URL Link to the manufacturer web site
Warranty Details text field
Warranty number
Warranty Start Date and End date
Warranty Expire Lead Time is an additional field that enables you to specify the number of days
before the warranty expires. The system, then, automatically initiates and sends out an asset
facility inspection record. This ensures that an asset inspection is completed before the warranty
coverage expires.
Asset Meters
Asset meters are a repositories that capture readings of meters belonging to assets. Asset
meters are used to generate work orders when trigger dates or readings are reached (one or
multiple Meter Reading records per Asset). Meter reading values can be used as a trigger
creation of Work Order in case of meter-based preventive maintenance.
Some assets may have different types of meters and gauges such as:
Pressure gauge
Hours of operations meter
Temperature gauge
If these meters and gauges are used to trigger preventive work orders, then each asset may
have one or more Asset Meter records. The assets with multiple meters and gauge types will
have multiple meters, and each meter record is used to capture meter readings for this type of
meter. Based on meter reading thresholds (set up on the Preventive Maintenance Book for the
asset), the system will trigger work orders automatically and based on the latest meter reading.

Material Inventory
Material Inventory Management provides the ability to maintain a list of materials at a particular
location/warehouse. It dynamically updates the quantity in inventory and average unit cost for
each material SKU in inventory. Material Inventory gets updated dynamically when new material
is purchased and received, material is consumed/issued for work orders and when manual
inventory adjustments are made.

Material Requests
Material Requests is a process typically used by technicians during work order execution when
they need to request additional material from a specific warehouse. When requested and
submitted by the technician, a material request is assigned to the Warehouse Managers user
group with a list of requested material SKUs and quantities. When fulfilled by the warehouse
personnel, the technician is notified and the work order gets updated with the issued material
quantity.
Materials Received
Material Received process is used to confirm the delivery and receipt of materials that have
been ordered from a vendor by a Purchase Order (PO). The material Received record is
matched with the corresponding PO and requested SKU and quantities are compared to the
SKUs and quantities received,
Once the material received is approved, the Material Inventory quantities and average unit price
get updated dynamically.

Facility Inspections
Facility condition assessment is an industry term that describes the process of a qualified group
of trained industry professionals performing an inspection and analysis of the condition of a
facility or group of facilities that may vary in terms of age, design, construction methods, and
materials.
The purpose of these inspections is to collect data related to the various building systems and
assets and capture the condition, deficiency, required deferred maintenance costs and
estimated replacement costs. All this data is then used to analyze and calculate the overall FCI,
facility condition index.
The facility inspection process provides the technician/inspectors the ability to capture this data
and tag each inspection against a Building Systems Code, using the Uniformat II standard code
structure.

Prospective Properties
Identifying the prospective properties is a process used to capture all of the relevant data on
properties of interest and under consideration for acquisition, or leasing. The data captured
through this process is used in the property acquisition process in order to select the best
property that meets the criteria.
Property Acquisitions
The property acquisitions is a process used for specifying the needs and criteria related to a real
estate acquisition transaction. In this process, each criteria is prioritized with a weight value,
based on the importance to the acquisition initiative. On the line items, the user selects
properties from the prospective properties and rates each property data according to how close
it satisfies the acquisition needs and criteria.
The information collected during this process is used to auto-calculate a score for each property
under consideration. The score enables the user make an informed decision about a prospective
property.
Property Dispositions
Property dispositions is a simple process that identifies the property that will be disposed and
provides the justification/reason for the disposition. Once approved, the property-ownership
status changes to “Disposed”.
The Property Disposition process is used when a property (Building, Land or Linear Asset) is
disposed or sold and is no longer party of the portfolio. The process allows the requestor to
submit a request and specify which property to be disposed and the reasons. The default
workflow allows the request to be reviewed and either approved or rejected. Once approved, the
selected property Ownership Status is then changed to “Disposed”.
Property Creation
This process is used to initiate the request for creating the property that was selected to be
acquired in the Property Acquisition process.
