Final Lifecycle States
Use the status that reflects what actually happened
A clear final state keeps inactive assets visible without mixing them into active operational records.
Disposed
Record assets that have left active control through an approved disposal process defined by the organization.
Scrap
Separate scrapped assets from active stock and in-use assets without removing their historical context.
Lost
Mark assets that cannot be located so they remain visible for investigation, review and reporting.
Destroyed
Record a final destroyed state while preserving the asset identity and the history already collected.
Structured Closure
Move from review to a traceable final record
The exact authorization process belongs to your organization. AssetPrime keeps the operational information used before and after the final status change.
Step 01
Identify the asset
Find the relevant serialized asset or quantity-based record and review its current operational state.
Step 02
Review lifecycle context
Check location, assignment, movement, maintenance and depreciation information before closure.
Step 03
Confirm the final state
Use the appropriate retirement, disposal, scrap, lost or destroyed status for the actual outcome.
Step 04
Record supporting context
Keep the available date, remarks, references and related history connected with the asset record.
Step 05
Update operational visibility
Separate inactive or closed assets from active stock, assignments and everyday operations.
Step 06
Review and report
Use asset and lifecycle reports to review final status information during management or audit checks.
Connected History
Review the full record before lifecycle closure
Disposal is easier to understand when the final state remains connected to the operational history accumulated throughout the asset’s life.

Operational Value
Keep final asset states visible and reviewable
Structured lifecycle closure helps operations, finance, management and audit teams work from the same asset history.
Cleaner active records
Keep assets that are no longer operational from being mistaken for available, assigned or usable assets.
Traceable lifecycle closure
Retain the history that explains how an asset moved from acquisition and use to its final state.
Better replacement decisions
Review age, maintenance and depreciation context when planning retirement or replacement.
Stronger accountability
Make lost, scrapped, destroyed and disposed assets visible instead of allowing them to disappear from records.
More useful reporting
Review final asset states alongside register, movement, maintenance, depreciation and audit information.
Consistent multi-location control
Apply structured lifecycle closure across branches, stores, departments and operating locations.

Responsibility Boundaries
Keep operational records and organizational policy aligned
◆AssetPrime records operational disposal and retirement context; each organization defines its own authorization policy.
◆Accounting write-offs, tax treatment and financial approvals should follow the organization’s finance procedures.
◆Environmental, recycling and e-waste obligations depend on the asset type and applicable local requirements.
◆A final status should be applied only after the responsible team has completed its required review.
