API Name: ITAM_App__Disposal__c

The Disposal object represents the formal process of removing an IT asset from active inventory and marking it as Disposed. It is used when an asset reaches the end of its lifecycle due to damage, obsolescence, resale, donation, or other predefined reasons.

Disposing an asset through this object automatically updates the related Asset Unit status to Disposed, ensuring accurate lifecycle tracking and preventing further assignments or transfers.

Note: Assets marked as Disposed are excluded from license usage calculations and limits.

🔧 Key Functionalities

• Links directly to the Asset Unit being disposed.
  
• Allows administrators to specify the Disposal Reason for compliance and audit tracking.
  
• Automatically updates the asset’s status to Disposed upon creation of a disposal record.
  
• Disposed assets do not count toward license limits or active usage statistics.
  

✅ Tips & Best Practices

• Use consistent Disposal Reasons to support reporting and decision-making.
  
• Always confirm asset ownership and status before disposing.
  
• If the asset includes child assets (e.g., dock with laptop), dispose of the entire hierarchy to avoid orphaned units.
  
• Disposing is a critical action; ensure the asset is no longer in active use before proceeding.
