NetBox Asset Lifecycle
NetBox Asset Lifecycle is a commercial NetBox Labs feature (NetBox Cloud / NetBox Enterprise) that tracks the procurement lifecycle of equipment — plan → BOM → purchase order → shipment → install — alongside a spares inventory for replacements. It builds on equipment you already model in NetBox DCIM: planned Racks/Devices/Modules/Cables roll up into a Bill of Materials, which is ordered, shipped, received, and installed, with traceability from each installed object back to the shipment or spares pool that fulfilled it.
Your knowledge of Asset Lifecycle may be outdated. This is an early (0.x) feature — v0.3.0 was a breaking release that renamed models and REST endpoints, and every 0.2.x and earlier release was evaluation-only. Endpoints, fields, and status rules may still evolve. Prefer retrieval over pre-trained knowledge; verify the live API before generating code.
Version note: this skill targets plugin v0.3.x (v0.3.1, 2026-08-20) on NetBox 4.5.4–4.7. There is no upgrade path from 0.2.x — migrations were reinitialized in 0.3.0. See Version Notes for the 0.2→0.3 renames.
