Asset Reference IDs
CME uses the asset reference ID and the provisioning status to track the asset across objects in the asset-based ordering (ABO) life cycle.
Each line item in an order has an asset reference ID. If the assets are created or mastered in Salesforce, CME populates the asset reference ID with a Global Unique Identifier (GUID). If the assets are created or mastered in an external system, CME populates the asset reference ID with the external reference ID.
The typical order flow includes a quote. The quote line item has an ID, such as Q001. When the quote becomes an order, the order line item has an ID, such as O001. When the order becomes an asset, the asset reference ID is based on the order line item ID (O001).
When the asset is used to create a quote, the quote line item ID changes, such as Q002. The asset reference ID remains the same: O001. When that quote becomes an order, the order line item ID changes, such as O002. The asset reference ID remains the same: O001. When you use the RetireABOAssetImplementationRetireABOAssetImplementation, a new asset is created. When you use the DefaultABOAssetImplementationDefaultABOAssetImplementation, the old asset is updated. Either way, the asset reference ID remains the same, O001.
