Introduction

Asset reservation is the procedure through which a user registers they are reserving a certain quantity of an asset, for a certain purpose and for a certain period. That is, it is a resource that controls asset events.

This procedure is configured in the Control > Events > Event section, on the asset data screen. When the asset has this resource properly configured, it will be available for reservation on the Execution > Asset reservation (AS023) menu.

In this article, as an example, a reservation will be configured for the usage event of a micrometer asset, the same created to illustrate the asset definition flow. The example will be demonstrated in the GIF at the end of the steps.
