Each disposition line item represents one asset being disposed. This article covers the triage and processing steps.
Status workflow
Each line moves through: Pending (asset added) > Triaged (condition graded, route decided) > Processing (wipe, destruction, or remarketing in progress) > Completed.
Triage
Use the Triage toolbar action to assess the asset.
Condition grading
- Grade A: like new.
- Grade B: good, minor cosmetic wear.
- Grade C: fair, visible wear.
- Grade D: poor, significant damage.
- Non-functional: does not power on or has critical hardware failure.
Disposition routes
- Remarket: sell for value recovery.
- Refurbish: repair and then sell.
- Recycle: materials recovery.
- Destroy: physical destruction.
- Donate: charity or education.
- Return to Vendor: lease returns, warranty replacements.
Processing
Use the Process toolbar action. The fields depend on the route:
- For remarket/refurbish: resale channel, listing price, actual resale value, remarketing status.
- For recycle/destroy: destruction method, weight, materials.
Data sanitisation
The line item has summary fields for wipe method, software, result, and date. For multi-drive assets, individual wipe records provide per-drive detail. See Data sanitisation and wipe records.
Tips
- Triage before processing. The condition grade determines the appropriate route.
- Grade honestly. Over-grading wastes remarketing effort on unsaleable assets.
- Always verify data sanitisation before any asset leaves your control.
