Tip
The item's stock categories are updated at the same time. Limits: you cannot set an asset to On Rent or Reserved by hand, and an asset that is On Rent can only be marked lost - it comes back through a return ticket ("Assets on rent return to the yard through a return ticket."). Retired assets cannot be changed. The Owner / Administrator, Office Manager and Yard Manager can change statuses.
