Overview
For some clients, once an asset has been delivered, they never expect to see it again. Further, they want it to be considered "disposed" of and removed from their active inventory.
How it Works
This feature allows clients to mark a product code as "disposable on delivery". After delivery of an asset of that type, TrackAbout creates a "Dispose Assets" record and sets the asset status to lost.
Additionally, TrackAbout will dispose containers when all of the assets inside it have been delivered, even if the container is not attached to a delivery record.
Clients may determine that a disposed asset can still be used. In these cases, when they later scan the disposed asset on another record (e.g., Locate or Sort Container), TrackAbout will create a "Recover Disposed Assets" record, which is functionally identical to a "Mark Not Lost" record.
Setting it Up
If you need any of the functionality described under the Customizing it for You section, please contact your TrackAbout Support Team
