2. Do you have equipment that is no longer in use, and perhaps needs to be removed from your EAM installation?

3. Do you need to update documentation related to objects / assets? 

4. Is all product-related information up to date, for example, product-model, serial number, specifications?

5. Review the object BOM: keep track of whether specific spare parts are often replaced.

6. Have you introduced changes in object / asset setup that have not been added in D365, for example, object criticalities, priorities, product and model? whats
