Current we have wihin the Asset Management module all assets, regardless of status.
The issues that we face are the following:
- users can associate assets to changes or to tickets, regardless of their status. So we have for example change tickets for an asset that is already disposed.
- users can associate new assets relationships with othe assets regarless of their status.
In the end there is a mix of actual assets with assets that are disposed, sold or in other inactive state.
For audit purposes we must have asset data available for several years available, athough many assets are in an ‘inactive’ status (such as ‘disposed’ for example). So we cannot use the ‘delete’ function for such assets. We need those to remain in the system and at the same time those should no longer be selected for associations, as explained in the 2 points above.
The idea is to make Assets in an inactive state no longer selectable for associations to other records. Older associations should remain.
It would be great to have the product team propose a solution for this issue.
