Asset Change Operation
Change Operation allows users to Change asset data by updating the fields. It also has the following two flavors.
Configuration: Change Configuration lets you change the configuration of an Asset. For example, adding or removing options on a Bundle. On the cart, notice that the old asset are displayed as Cancelled, and another copy of the updated asset is added to the cart with status as Upgraded when there is no change in Start Date. But if there is a change in the Start Date, the status is Changed-Config.
Quantity: Increment or decrement the quantity of an asset. For example, if the existing quantity is five and you want the new quantity to be 8, then enter 3. The new quantity is displayed on the panel. You can retain the existing end date, enter a custom date, or use the proposal end date. You also have the option to apply the changed dates to the existing assets.
If you select the "Update Existing Assets" flag, the same asset gets updated with the new quantity, and the status on the cart page is "Incremented and Merged". But if you do not select this flag, a copy of the same asset is created at the end of the cycle with the newly mentioned quantity. The status of this asset on the cart page is displayed as "Incremented".
For any Change action on the asset, net price indicates the price of the asset as seen from the start date to the end date on the cart.
Every change you make to an asset impacts its Billing Schedule. If the asset is usage-based, it also impacts the associated Usage Schedule.
Change operation on assets with ramps is supported when assets have the same start and end dates on both primary and secondary ramps. This is supported in both scenarios, Default Asset Pricing = True / False.
You can now perform Change operations on Service assets, including adding or removing associated equipment items and updating the weightage percentage to 100%. You also see the related line‑item details in the cart and can associate new catalog products with existing services. All other Asset‑Based Ordering (ABO) operations remain available for selected equipment assets and other assets within the same cart.

Changing Quantity of an Asset
- Enter Custom Date
- Use the Proposal End Date
- Retain the current Asset End Date
When you increase the quantity, you have the option to select the Update Existing Assets checkbox. If selected, on order activation, the incremental quantity updates into the existing asset. Line status is changed to Incremented and Merged. The quantity increment is displayed under the Delta Quantity column.
If you do not select this checkbox, on order activation, a new asset with the same name as the existing asset is created. Line status is changed to Incremented. There are two assets with the same name, one with the original quantity and the other with the increment quantity. However, the Total Quantity column indicates the cumulative quantity, that is, the original quantity plus increment quantity.
