What happens when you dispose of a partial asset from a handheld terminal?

A partial asset disposal initiated from a handheld terminal produces the same disposal records as a partial disposal initiated from the Asset Management application:

  • If an asset has multiple items, and you dispose of several, but not all, of the items, the disposal process creates a new asset from the disposed items and leaves the nondisposed items in the original asset.

  • If an asset has a single item but a quantity larger than one, and you dispose of a partial quantity, the disposal process creates a new asset with a single item containing the disposed quantity, and leaves the original asset with the nondisposed quantity.

  • After the disposal records are interfaced to the Asset Management application, both the newly created asset and the original asset have a status of Disposal in Progress. You cannot change the records, but you can delete them.

  • You cannot display a newly created disposed asset on Disposals (AM40.1).

  • If you delete the original asset disposal from AM40.1, you also delete the asset created by the partial disposal.

  • Releasing the partial disposal for the original asset also releases the newly created asset with a status of Disposed.

Example

Asset 1 has three items:

  • Item 1 with a quantity of 5
  • Item 2 with a quantity of 3
  • Item 3 with a quantity of 2

If you use a handheld terminal to dispose of items 2 and 3 and interface the transfer records to Asset Management, the resulting asset records are:

  • Asset 1, with item 1 (quantity 5)
  • Asset 2, with item 2 (quantity 3) and item 3 (quantity 2)

Both items have a status of Disposal in Process until you release them.

Only Asset 1 can be viewed on Disposals (AM30.1)

Deleting the Asset 1 disposal record from AM30.1 deletes the new asset and restores Asset 1 to its original state.

Releasing the Asset 1 disposal record from AM30.1 releases both assets. Asset 1 has a status of Released. Asset 2 has a status of Disposed.
