hi,

i am new to this spice but what i have seen and done so far impresses me.

what i want besides detailed machine info and application management is to be able to track costs associated with IT equipement and infrastructure.

for example i want to be able to add the purchase date of a machine and the purchase price. also if applicable service contracts and their costs.

can anybody inform me if this is at all posible within spiceworks? it is the only thing that is stopping me from deploying spiceworks in my network!

First I would like to welcome you to Spiceworks. I would not let something little like that stop you from deploying spiceworks in your network. You may not ba able to do exactly what you want, but I have found with spiceworks there are many way to work around any issue. There is probaly a better way, but this is my simple solution.

on the inventory of the system you can add the purchase price and date. You can also have a service tag number. There is a notes field that you can keep track of your service/contract dates. Hope this helps.

We started out and only wanted the ticketing aspect, but now we keep finding new ways to use spiceworks more and more.

This is completely possible, and already set up for you. In the Inventory sectiion there are fields for Purchase price and Purchase date for each item in you inventory.

You can also add custom fields by clicking the Custom Attribute link at the bottom of the General Info tab onf the assett you are looking at.

thanx for the quick reply. it is good to see that there is a lively community supporting spiceworks. this is definatly a good thing.

i suppose that if i use/modify the available fields, it will also be possible to make a specific “end of year” rapport wich specifies what product were bought in a given year, purchase price and left over value?

i will be sure to look into this
