Asset Transfer

Asset Transfer · Movement Across Departments and People

The Marketing team's projector goes to Sales, a few computers move from the Beijing office to Shanghai, five devices from a departing employee hand over to a new owner — these aren't simple "loans" but formal changes of asset ownership. The transfer form runs through approval, the handover is scan-verified, ownership changes, the record is preserved in full, and finance and audit can pull it up anytime.

Capabilities

The Full Set of Asset Transfer Actions

Five steps — request, approval, outbound, inbound, change of ownership — form a closed loop

📝 Transfer Request

Choose the "transfer out → transfer in" departments / people / locations, batch-select assets in a sub-table, and note the reason for the transfer

👥 Two-Sided Approval

Three-party approval by the out-side manager + in-side manager + asset administrator; any rejection sends it back for re-submission

📦 Scan Handover

The asset administrator scans each asset code to confirm the physical item against the transfer form, preventing missing or mismatched items

🔁 Change of Ownership

On completing the handover, the asset's "using department / user / location" fields update automatically, and the asset card updates with them

📍 Cross-Location Support

For cross-city transfers like Beijing → Shanghai, logistics info / in-transit status is recorded, and items count as "in-transit assets" until signed for

📜 Transfer Records

Each asset's complete transfer history is kept in reverse chronological order — the footprint from booking to the present is crystal clear

A Transfer Isn't a Private Handover — It's a Recorded Change

Asset transfers touch department budgets, fixed-asset depreciation and tax accounting. "Wang moving to Li's desk" sounds harmless, but if the books say "Wang uses it" while the item is on Li's desk, the stocktake will inevitably be off. Once the transfer form runs, records and reality sync automatically.

  • The transfer form links to finance, with department depreciation re-allocated automatically
  • Supports both "internal free transfer" and "paid transfer" types
  • The transfer form is archived, making the asset's history traceable
  • Batch transfer scenario: move 50 assets in a single transfer

Even Cross-City, Cross-Plant Transfers Stay Under Control

A group enterprise with offices in Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen faces in-transit logistics, sign-off delays and loss risk. The transfer form records the tracking number, the three states "shipped / in transit / signed" are visible, and it only completes once the receiving side scans to confirm.

  • The transfer form links to the tracking number, visible end to end
  • "In-transit assets" are counted separately, so they aren't double-counted
  • Sign-off includes photo evidence + condition registration
  • Overdue sign-offs automatically alert both transfer parties
Use Cases

Common Asset Transfer Situations

Inter-Department Reallocation

Equipment surplus to Marketing in the off-season is transferred to a new R&D project, and the books move it from Marketing to R&D automatically

Office Relocation

A branch moves from Building A to Building B, the whole batch of assets is transferred at once, and the location field updates in one go

Project-End Handover

A project team disbands, and equipment / tools are batch-transferred back to the asset administrator's inventory, awaiting the next allocation

Inter-Branch Sharing

The Beijing branch is temporarily short on equipment; Shanghai transfers 10 units up, recording logistics / sign-off / expected return
