Hardware disposal order stages

reference brazil Updated Sep 10, 2026 1 min read hardware-disposal-stages.md

A hardware disposal order goes through various stages in the disposal process before it’s completed. With each stage, the task that's associated with that stage changes too.

Closing a task in the hardware disposal process completes that task and automatically creates the next task in the process. For example, after you close the Schedule Pickup task, the state for that task changes to Closed Complete and the next task, Asset Departure, is created. This process continues until you close all the tasks required for disposing of the selected assets. After you close all the tasks, the disposal order is completed.

Hardware disposal stages	Task	Description
Draft	Verify Assets	Hardware disposal record is created.
Scheduling	Schedule Pickup	Scheduling details for the hardware asset disposal order.
Transit	Asset Departure	Verified assets are ready for departure.
Confirmation	Vendor Confirmation	Hardware disposal order is confirmed by the vendor.
Documentation	Disposal Documentation	Documentation for the disposal record is attached.
Completed	None	Hardware disposal record request is completed.
Cancelled	None	Disposal order can be canceled only until the transit stage.
