Asset Transfer
An asset transfer moves an asset between locations, custodians, departments or legal entities.
Definition
In general ERP practice
An asset transfer moves an asset between locations, custodians, departments or legal entities. A physical relocation differs from a legal sale and may have different accounting consequences.
In Odoo
The closest documented Odoo tools are the asset record and accounting adjustments; equipment assignment is a separate operational record. A cross-company transfer may require disposal in one company and acquisition in another. The cited asset documentation does not establish a universal asset-transfer workflow for every case.
Official Odoo documentation
The Odoo-specific explanation above is based on the documentation for Odoo 19. Features and workflows can differ in other versions.
