In the Repair flow, an asset manager requests the repair of defective assets in the stockroom. An asset technician troubleshoots, repairs, and evaluates the asset. The evaluated asset is either put to use or disposed of. For details on stages in the Repair flow, see [Repair flow to fix defective hardware assets within a stockroom](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/it-asset-management/hardware-asset-management/requesting-hardware-asset-repair.md). - **[Request repair of defective hardware assets in your stockroom](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/it-asset-management/hardware-asset-management/request-repair-defective-ham-assets.md)** As an asset manager, you can get the defective hardware assets in your stockroom repaired by creating repair orders. - **[Repair order fulfillment in the Hardware Asset Workspace](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/it-asset-management/hardware-asset-management/fulfilling-repair-orders-ham.md)** Repair order fulfillment tracks the resolution of defective and out-of-warranty hardware assets. Repair asset tasks associated with each repair order line must be completed before an order is fulfilled. Orders can be completed manually or through the Help repair hardware assets agentic workflow. - **[Record time worked on asset repair tasks in the Hardware Asset Workspace](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/it-asset-management/hardware-asset-management/record-repair-time-ham-ws.md)** Manage and record time worked on Troubleshoot asset, Repair asset, and Evaluate asset tasks in the Hardware Asset Workspace.
