Establish what is being disassembled
Identify the kit and quantity. Check its actual contents, especially where substitutions were allowed or some elements were used.
Do not assume the original composition will always be recovered in full. Components may be damaged, missing or require separate assessment.
Connect kit reduction with component recovery
History should link the disassembled kit with the quantities returned to stock. This makes clear that components did not arrive as an independent new delivery.
Where batch identity matters, preserve the origin that can be established. Uncertainty about batch or condition should not disappear simply because a component receives a new location.
Recovered does not always mean immediately available
Packaging, completeness or condition may need checking. Defining this stage helps prevent issue of an item that is physically back on the shelf but still awaits a decision.
For accounting and analytics teams, the useful information is the reason behind the quantity change. WMS organises disassembly, but the recovery record must match reality. The final check needs to cover both the kits removed and the components restored to stock.
