When must all assets on a transfer order be released?

The requirement for all assets on a transfer order to be released before the order is flagged as Ready for fulfillment aligns with best practices in hardware asset management. This step ensures that all assets involved in the transfer are officially recognized and accounted for before the process moves forward. Releasing the assets signifies that they are ready to be processed and ensures that there are no pending actions that could hinder fulfillment.

This process maintains accuracy in inventory management, as it prevents discrepancies between what is physically available versus what is recorded in the system. Furthermore, by releasing the assets at this stage, it allows for proper tracking and accountability, ensuring a smoother transition to the fulfillment phase. This practice is crucial for maintaining integrity within the asset management lifecycle.
