Understanding Asset Acknowledgement

May 17, 2025

Asset Acknowledgement is the process where an employee confirms receipt and responsibility for an assigned asset. This ensures clarity on ownership and usage accountability.

When Does It Happen?

  • When an asset is first assigned to an employee.
  • When an asset is re-assigned or returned and assigned again.

How Is It Notified?

  • If notifications are enabled, the system sends an Asset Acknowledgement email to the employee.
  • This may include:
    • Asset name and code
    • Date of assignment
    • Link or instruction to acknowledge

Why It Matters:

  • Confirms that the employee is aware of the asset assignment.
  • Helps maintain a clear record for audits and responsibility tracking.
  • Acts as a digital signature for receiving physical assets.

Who Configures This?

Admins configure acknowledgement notifications in:
Control Panel → Settings → Notifications → Assets → Asset Acknowledgement

They can set recipients and CC others if required.

FAQ

By default, asset assignment and release rights are controlled by admin-level permissions. However, this may vary based on your organization’s configuration.

Typically:

  • Managers and HODs can view assigned assets for their teams.
  • Admins or those with special permissions can:
    • Assign assets to employees
    • Release assets when they’re no longer needed

Custom Permission Option:

Organizations using HRStop can request custom role permissions to allow certain manager roles to perform asset-related actions.
