Purchase

The Purchase section contains the following tables: Nomenclature (itam_nomenclature), ITAM Demand (itam_demand), and ITAM Demand Item (itam_demand_item).

Use them to create records in the ITAM Demand table for each cost center of the company.

You can use the functionality of the demand item to create a purchase request for the asset that does not have a corresponding nomenclature in the system. To do so, select the Non-standard model checkbox on the demand item form and add the description and average price of the asset needed.

When all assets related to the ITAM Demand record are in the selected stock, you can allocate them. You can also complete the demand without the assets allocation, and even before all assets requested are delivered to the destination stock.

📄️ ITAM Demand

The ITAM Demand (itam_demand) table is a child table of the Demand (demand) table located in the Simple application. ITAM Demand has a supplementary logic fulfilling the ITAM requirements for asset demand listing process. Specifically, ITAM contains functionality providing options for planning demand items, approval conditions, reserving assets withing the demand items, change of stock for assets, and asset allocation.

📄️ ITAM Demand Item

An ITAM Demand Item is always associated with a single request and contains information about the nomenclature and quantities requested for a cost center specified in the ITAM Demand record.

📄️ Nomenclature

ITAM Nomenclature is a dictionary that contains information about the asset logic (Spare parts kit, Consignment), the relation of an asset with a Configuration item (CI), and information about the supplier of the assets. The asset registration task establishes a one-to-one relationship between an asset record and a nomenclature record. The nomenclature has the same category structure as the configuration item.
