The Assign Asset Types session is used by an administrator to assign assets (including packaging types) to a trading partner. The assigned assets will then become available to the trading partner in various drop-down lists in the system. This process will also assign the corresponding Packaging Catalog Items. 

The session consists of two lists, Existing and Potential. The Existing list describes the packaging types that have been assigned to the selected trading partner. In the screen shot below, it shows a list of all packaging types for Morris Consulting & Training. The Potential list consists of all packaging types that have been added in the database. These packaging types could potentially be used by MCTI, but are not currently assigned.
