Creating an Accessory for Products In the Catalog

Accessories are optional items that may be issued along with the product when it is issued to a student or staff member. An example of an accessory for a laptop might be a power adaptor or a laptop messenger bag. Asset Management will automatically issue the accessory with the associated product and can be configured to automatically assess a charge to the student or staff member's account if the accessory is not returned during the collection process.
