  • The edit access to the address should be provided to the person who has access to configure the address. 
  • If the address is updated for a store which is part of a Movement configuration, the address is updated on the record if the Movement ID is not even approved at one level. 
  • If the Movement ID is approved at level 1 but is pending approval at level 2, then the new address is not reflected. 

Let us understand the above points with an example scenario. Consider an asset with the following details:
Asset- IPad
Asset ID- 2773
Movement ID- 112
Dispatch From Address- #23 SLV Arena, Bengaluru- 25
Dispatch To Address- #42, SGV Tech Park, Hyderabad- 65

The Asset IPad is initiated for a Movement configuration and sent for approval. 
The approval is in pending state. During this state, if the Admin updates the address, the newly updated address is captured and displayed in the gate pass configuration.

Asset- IPad
Asset ID- 2773
Movement ID- 112
Dispatch From Address- #23 SLV Arena, Bengaluru- 25
Dispatch To Address- #64, Acme Plaze, Gurgaon - 67
