Cascade Operating Organization for Child Assets During Transfers

Cascade a parent asset's operating organization to its child assets within a physical hierarchy to ensure that they are in sync. This is done using an internal database column, Validation Organization. When you change the operating organization of a parent asset, the changed organization is copied to the Validation Organization column internally in the database. It's then cascaded down to all the child assets within the physical hierarchy after you run the Synchronize Item Control Attributes to Assets scheduled process.

The following screenshot shows the physical hierarchy of an asset that reflects the same operating organization across all its child assets:

Any change made to the operating organization of a parent asset reflects in its child assets within the physical asset hierarchy. This ensures that the asset information is up-to-date and accurate.
