Asset Management

continON Asset Management keeps a register of company assets with a barcode identity traceable to the goods receipt that acquired them, records custody through an assign-use-return handover history, and tracks where each asset sits. Asset requests can be raised on behalf of an employee, an organizational unit, or a project.

The recordThe asset

The operating model

Assets enter the register the way they enter the company: through purchasing. An asset’s identity is traceable to the goods receipt that acquired it, so the register is anchored in real acquisition records rather than typed-in serials of unknown origin. Classification rides the shared item hierarchy, and each asset carries a generated barcode identity.

Custody is a history, not a field. Every asset keeps an assign-use-return handover record, so who holds it now and who held it before are both answerable, and location records track where assets sit between hands. Requests for assets are raised on behalf of an employee, an organizational unit, or a project, which keeps the reason an asset was issued attached to the issuing.

The module is deliberately scoped to what the product verifiably does: register, identification, custody, location, and return. Depreciation methods and schedules are recorded on the register and values are calculated from them, but they are not automatically journalized into accounting — and maintenance scheduling and a formal disposal flow are not part of the current product.

Stays the same

The asset

  • Barcode identity
  • Current holder
  • Location
  • Handover history

Returned, or carried to its next holder

  1. Acquire

    The asset arrives through a purchase order and line-level goods acceptance.

  2. Register & tag

    The asset is registered with a barcode identity traceable to its goods receipt and classified in the shared item hierarchy.

  3. Request & assign

    An asset request on behalf of an employee, unit, or project leads to a recorded handover.

  4. Track

    Location and custody history stay current while the asset is in use.

  5. Return

    The return closes the handover record, and the asset is available to assign again.
