Inventory Management

The Inventory Management module allows you to explore and manage your inventory for both wireless and wireline services.

Why the Inventory lifecycle matters

The Asignet Platform provides you a single repository for all your wireline and wireless inventory items. Inventory is pulled from the vendor portals on a daily basis, so you can see the most current inventory data; and billing detail from your invoices empowers you to see cost for your services.

How inventory status is managed

Inventory Activity

Inventory that appears on the vendor inventory report as Active remain Active in the platform.

After a *set number of days, when an inventory item does not appear on the vendor inventory report or is Inactive a set number of consecutive days on the report, it will automatically be set to Inactive.

Invoice Activity

Inventory that bills at the set frequency of the account remains Active.

After *set number of days when an inventory item does not appear on the invoice from the vendor, it will automatically be set to Inactive. This method typically occurs when Asignet does not receive inventory feeds from the vendor and must rely on the invoice to determine status.

Order / Workflow Activity

When an order (also referred to as workflow) is completed in the platform, the inventory status is updated immediately.

 

*The set number of days is configurable per client.

What system validations support Inventory management

The platform uses the inventory, invoice, and ordering data to provide you actionable intel, such as:

  • Services that do not have associated locations

  • Services not associated to a user

  • Active services not associated to a user

  • IMEIs tied to multiple services

  • Active inventory associated to a Closed location

  • Services that do not have invoice data

  • Inactive inventory still billing

  • Services that were orders vs. what is in your inventory

Having an inventory in the platform will also enable you to use the ordering modules to maintain your inventory and streamline the inventory update process. Ordering uses the inventory items to generate orders for requests, like moving or disconnecting service.
