The Normalization statuses are the indicators of how well the hardware and consumable models are standardized and normalized in the model catalog and the CMDB. The Normalization statuses are:

• Manufacturer Normalized: The model has been normalized with the manufacturer name and the product name, but not the model number or the device type. For example, Dell Latitude.
• Match Not Found: The model has not been normalized because no matching model was found in the Hardware Asset Management Content Service. For example, ABC XYZ.
• Partially Normalized: The model has been normalized with the manufacturer name, the product name, and the model number, but not the device type. For example, Dell Latitude E7450.
• Normalized: The model has been fully normalized with the manufacturer name, the product name, the model number, and the device type. For example, Dell Latitude E7450 (Laptop).
• Manually Normalized: The model has been manually updated by the user with the normalization content, such as the manufacturer name, the product name, the model number, and the device type. For example, HP Pavilion 15 (Laptop).
• New: The model has been created and has not yet run through the normalization process. For example, Lenovo ThinkPad T490.

• According to the Hardware Asset Management documentation, an asset audit is a process of verifying the physical existence and location of assets in an organization, such as a stockroom or a warehouse.
• The asset audit form shows the details of the audit, such as the name, description, status, start date, end date, and location of the audit1.
• The asset audit form also shows the audit results, which are the status of each scanned asset, such as “Scanned and expected”, “Scanned and not expected”, “Expected and not scanned”, or "Not expected and not scanned"1.
• The scanned assets are the assets that were found at the stockroom or warehouse that is being audited, regardless of whether they were expected or not1.
• The scanned assets are displayed in the Scanned Assets related list on the asset audit form1.
• Therefore, the correct answer is option B, scanned assets, as they are the list of all assets that were found at the stockroom or warehouse that is being audited. References:

According to the ServiceNow Hardware Asset Management documentation, the Asset-CI Task Action field is a choice list that allows the agent to select an action to perform on the asset and CI records related to the Incident. The possible actions are:

•No action: No changes are made to the asset and CI records.

•Retire: The asset and CI records are set to the Retired state.

•Dispose: The asset and CI records are set to the Disposed state.

•Repair: The asset and CI records are set to the Repair in Progress state.

•Replace: The asset and CI records are set to the Retired state and a new asset request is created for a replacement.

•Return: The asset and CI records are set to the Returned state and a new asset request is created for a replacement.

• Stock rules are the rules that define the minimum and maximum quantities of hardware assets in a stockroom1.
• Stock rules help to optimize the inventory levels and avoid overstocking or understocking of hardware assets1.
• Stock rules have the following purposes:
• Therefore, the purposes of stock rules that are also options in the question are A. To automatically transfer assets when a low quantity threshold is detected in a stockroom and C. To send notifications when a low quantity threshold is detected in a stockroom.
• The other options that are not purposes of stock rules are:
• 1: Stock Rules
• 2: Purchase Orders
• 3: Transfer Orders
• 4: Stock Order Tasks

According to the ServiceNow Hardware Asset Management documentation, a loaner asset is a temporary asset that is provided to a user for a specific period of time, such as when their primary asset is being repaired or replaced1. Users can request loaner assets from the Service Catalog, where they can select the type, quantity, and duration of the loaner asset they need2. If the requested asset is not available in the local stockroom, the request is wait-listed until the asset becomes available3. Users may request loaner assets even when the requested asset is not available in the local stockroom because the wait-listed loaner asset requests provide visibility to the demand for loaner orders. This visibility helps the asset managers to plan and optimize the loaner asset pool, as well as to identify and address any gaps or bottlenecks in the loaner asset fulfillment process.

The other options are not correct because:

• The request does not create an automatic transfer order to move assets from a warehouse with in stock assets. Transfer orders are created manually by the stock manager to move assets between stockrooms.
• The wait-listed loaner asset requests do not provide visibility to streamline internal transfer order flows. Transfer order flows are managed by the stock manager using the Transfer Order Management module.
• The request does not automatically create a purchase order to obtain the assets from a vendor. Purchase orders are created manually by the procurement manager to order assets from vendors.

• According to the Hardware Asset Management page, the HAM application includes the following features: Hardware Asset Workspace, Hardware Normalization, Asset Lifecycle Automation, Return Merchandise Authorization, Asset Reservations, Asset Onboarding and Offboarding, Mobile Asset Receiving, Mobile My Locker, Asset Inventory Audit, and Hardware Asset Dashboard.
• Among these features, Mobile Asset Receiving, Hardware Model Normalization, and Hardware Asset Dashboard are the ones that expand the baseline ITSM Asset Management, which only covers Asset & Model Records and Stockrooms.
• Mobile Asset Receiving allows users to receive multiple assets against a purchase order using a mobile device, which simplifies the asset receiving process and reduces errors.
• Hardware Model Normalization standardizes asset data by manufacturer name, model name, and model number, which improves data quality and accuracy in the CMDB.
• Hardware Asset Dashboard provides a comprehensive view of hardware asset data, such as asset counts, costs, compliance, and lifecycle stages, which helps users make informed decisions and optimize asset performance. References:

According to the ServiceNow Hardware Asset Management documentation, the Scanned Assets related list displays the assets that have been scanned using the ServiceNow Agent mobile app during an audit. The Scanned Assets related list is updated each time scans are submitted from the app, which can be done manually or automatically based on the app settings

• The plugin that helps alleviate inconsistencies in company names is the Normalization Data Services plugin, which is part of the ServiceNow IT Asset Management suite1.
• The Normalization Data Services plugin provides a set of features and capabilities that enable you to standardize and normalize data across various tables and fields in ServiceNow, such as manufacturer names, model names, software names, and company names12.
• The Normalization Data Services plugin uses a combination of rules, dictionaries, and algorithms to identify and correct data inconsistencies, such as spelling errors, abbreviations, synonyms, and duplicates12.
• The Normalization Data Services plugin can help you improve the quality and accuracy of your data, reduce manual efforts and errors, and enhance reporting and analysis12. References:
