Disposition Locations

Disposition location refers to either a storage location or an asset location.

Storage locations are considered to be storerooms, meter shops, vehicles, or warehouses while an asset location is considered to be the physical location of an installed asset whether or not the asset is in service, out of service, or retired.

Examples depicting the differences between a storage location and an asset location:

• Assets received from the manufacturer and awaiting inspection can be held at a receiving warehouse (Storage Location).
• An asset, once it passes inspection, can be moved to a storeroom (Storage Location).
• A service person can load the asset onto their service vehicle (Storage Location).
• If damaged, the asset can be removed from the service point and sent to the meter shop for repairs (Storage Location).
• Service person installs the asset at a service point (Asset Location).
• Assets, such as pipes and poles, that remain at the install location but are no longer in use (Asset Location).
• Once repaired, the asset can be installed at another service point (Asset Location) or returned to inventory (Storage Location).
