Complete Employee Asset Lifecycle Guide

The system allows you to manage employee assets completely, starting from setting up asset types, physical locations, and warehouses, through adding and assigning assets to employees, and ending with maintenance and retirement processes. This guide explains all the steps required to complete the employee asset lifecycle correctly.

Before You Start: Configure Employee Asset Settings

Before adding assets, you need to configure three main elements: asset types, physical locations, and warehouses.

Add Asset Types

  1. From the main menu, click “Employees“.
  2. Click “Employee Settings“.
  3. Select “Asset Types“.
  4. Click “Add Asset Type“.
  5. Enter the asset type “Name” and description.
  6. Make sure the status is set to “Active“.
  7. Click “Save“.

Add Physical Locations

  1. From the main menu, click “Employees“.
  2. Click “Employee Settings“.
  3. Select “Physical Locations“.
  4. Click “Add Physical Location“.
  5. Enter the location “Name” and “Description“.
  6. Make sure the status is set to “Active“.
  7. Click “Save“.

Add Storage

  1. From the main menu, click “Employees“.
  2. Click “Employee Settings“.
  3. Select “Storage“.
  4. Click “Add Storage“.
  5. Enter the “name” and “description“.
  6. Make sure the status is set to “Active“.
  7. Click “Save“.

The physical location represents the actual geographic location of the asset, such as a building or floor, while the warehouse represents the internal storage area where the asset is kept when not assigned to an employee, such as the IT warehouse.

First: Add a New Employee Asset

  1. From the main menu, click “Employees” then select “Employee Assets“.
  2. Click “Add Employee Asset“.
  3. Select “Create New Asset” from the selection screen.
  4. Enter the asset details:
    • Asset Name 
    • Asset Type
    • Serial Number
    • Barcode
    • Used by: select an employee, warehouse, or leave it unassigned
    • Physical Location
    • Description 
  5. Click on the “Save” button.

The asset status is assigned automatically based on the selected assignment type:

If assigned to an employee → status becomes Assigned
If assigned to a warehouse → status becomes In Storage
If left empty → status becomes Unassigned

Second: Link the Asset to an Existing Accounting Asset (Optional)

If you want to link the asset to an existing asset in the Fixed Assets module:

  1. Click “Add New Asset“.
  2. Select “Link to Existing Accounting Asset” from the selection screen.
  3. In the “Select Asset from The Accounting Module” field, search by asset name, code, serial number, or barcode.
  4. Select the required asset from the search results.
  5. The asset data is imported automatically from the accounting asset.
  6. Review and edit the imported data if needed.
  7. Click on the “Save” button.

When linking to an accounting asset, some fields such as the serial number and barcode become read-only because they are imported from the accounting asset.

Third: Send the Asset to Maintenance

  1. Open the required asset from the “Employee Assets” list.
  2. Click “Send to Maintenance“.
  3. A popup window appears for maintenance details:
    • Enter a note explaining the reason for maintenance. (Optional)
    • Attach any related documents. (Optional)
  4. Click “Save“.

After sending the asset to maintenance, the asset status automatically changes to “Under Maintenance“, and the action is logged in both the asset movement history and activity log.

Fourth: Return the Asset from Maintenance

  1. Open the asset with the status “Under Maintenance“.
  2. Click “Return from Maintenance“.
  3. Enter a note about the maintenance result. (Optional)
  4. Attach any related documents. (Optional)
  5. Click “Save“.

When returning the asset from maintenance, the system automatically restores the same assigned user and physical location that were set before the asset was sent for maintenance.

Fifth: Retire the Asset

When the asset is no longer operational, you can retire it:

  1. Open the required asset from the “Employee Assets list“.
  2. Click “Retire Asset“.
  3. Enter a note explaining the retirement reason. (Optional)
  4. Attach any related documents. (Optional)
  5. A confirmation message appears — click “Yes” to continue.

To retire an asset, the assignment status must first be Unassigned.

After confirming retirement, the asset status changes to Inactive, and all operational actions on the asset become disabled.

After confirming retirement, the asset status changes to “Retired“, and all operational actions on the asset become disabled.

Sixth: Cancel Asset Retirement

If the asset was retired by mistake, you can cancel the retirement and restore it for operational use:

  1. Open the asset with the status “Retired“.
  2. Click “Undo Retire Asset“.
  3. أدخل ملاحظة توضح سبب إلغاء التقاعد. (اختياري)
  4. أرفق أي مستندات ذات صلة. (اختياري)
  5. ستظهر رسالة تأكيد — اضغط على نعم للمتابعة.

بعد إلغاء الإيقاف تُستعاد حالة الأصل تلقائياً بناءً على بيانات التخصيص الموجودة، وتعود جميع الإجراءات التشغيلية متاحة.
