Index
A chair can leave one location and take time to reach another; changing only its address makes time in transit disappear.
The rule that changes the scope
Movement must distinguish origin, transport and receipt while retaining observed condition and custody ownership at each stage.
An asset register can cover location; a custom module tracks requests, authorization and transfer checks.
An item may be known by asset number and a description understood by its recipient. Use both without creating competing identities. Destination checking should accept part of the shipment and record what was not found. An item sent to the wrong location requires a routing correction rather than a retroactive address edit. That path preserves who held custody between the original departure and the eventual confirmed receipt.
Specify operational deliverables
- Connect each item with its transfer request and originating location.
- Show assets in transit without making them available in both locations.
- Record damage and discrepancies found on arrival before confirming receipt.
Test the exception before acceptance
In a hypothetical scenario, the destination receives only part of the dispatched furniture; the movement must retain remaining items as outstanding.
