  • The disposal order status is Pending Certificate of Disposal.
  • The vendor provides an official proof of disposal file (PDF, image, or spreadsheet).

Maintaining vendor proof creates a legal audit trail. Verifying the certificate officially moves assets to the Disposed status and stops financial depreciation.
