Assets is s tool set within Tradepoint designed for Inventory management Systems that use numerous items to create finished Products. the difference is between Products and Assets is the main function of Assets is to manage those items that are purchased in bulk or in very different measurements or packaging forms as the finished Products.

For example, if you are looking to create a Spice Shaker that uses a combination of Spices within the finished product and your company purchases those products in bulk to be assembled.

Another example would be any repackaging of Inventory to re-sell items. When you purchase items in packages of 8 and then re-sell them in packages of 3 then that purchased product would be considered an Assets so Tradepoint can calculate how many of the Assets  are necessary when you go to Assemble the finished Product.

Below is a view of the Assets screen with several different Assets listed.

The information you can maintain for each Assets includes:

• Accounting Information(shown above)
• Valuations
• Suppliers
• Specifications
• Inventory
• Notes

Multiple Accounting rules can be maintained for each Asset by clicking on the New Accounting Rule icon shown in the lower right hand of the screen above. Adding a new Asset is done by using the New icon in the very lower left of the screen shown above.
