Checking out parts
PartExpress should be used to document whenever a part is leaving your inventory. This will create a transaction record in the Asset Essentials web application. *Note: The Parts & POs feature is available to Asset Essentials clients for an additional cost. Please contact your Sales Representative or Client Services if you are interested in purchasing this feature. Once this feature has been purchased, contact Client Services to have PartExpress activated in your account.
