This article’s intended audience are warehouse managers and district level administrative users.
Containers are created and managed in warehouses for the purpose of storing and transferring untagged assets. They are in rooms and have their own unique identifier and description.
All items within the container share the same status as the container itself (includes “Available”, “Auctioned”, “Disposed”, “In Repair”, and more)
