Tools & Materials is insured for £2,500 against an indicated £8,000

That is a shortfall of £5,500, about 69%, and the sum insured was last set in October 2018. Where a policy carries an average clause, a shortfall of this size can reduce every settlement by the same proportion, including partial losses well below the sum insured.

What replacing all of this would cost

£7,517

Worked out from what each one cost and how old it is. Nobody typed it, and no form on this page offers to. The same lines cost £6,640 on the day they were bought, which is the figure a fixed asset register starts from and then depreciates.

Every line, and how each was valued

Lines nobody typed

4 of 5

A bank statement described them, and the engine worked out what they were and what they are worth to replace.

Still to fill in

4 lines

A serial number is the one thing a bank line can never carry, and it is what a theft claim turns on.

Fill it in

What only you can add

A bank line and a set of accounts can both say what you bought and when. Neither of them can say which exact unit is yours, and neither of them ever saw the things you paid cash for. That is the part below, and it is small.

4 items have no serial number

1 of 5 carries one

A serial number is what identifies a specific tool as yours once it has been taken, and it is the one thing a bank line can never carry. One box each. Adding one corrects the row the ledger already found rather than opening a second row for the same tool.

From the page you bought it from

Paste the address and the shop's own product data fills the form in: what it is, who made it, the model number and the list price. Nothing about it is guessed, and nothing about it is trusted either. It is a fact with a source, exactly like everything the audit extracts, and you confirm it.

No product page to hand? These two are served by this prototype, and say so on their face.

By hand

Cash purchases, gifts, anything bought before the ledger window, and anything a bank line cannot describe. Replacement value is not asked for: the engine derives it from the category and the purchase date, and shows its working on the row.

The register

Every line, and how it was valued. Open a row for the working, to correct it, or to take it off. Nothing here is deleted: taking a line off records that it came off, and it can be put back.

How this list keeps itself

Where the rows come from

From a bank line: 4 of 5, described by a bank statement and valued without anybody typing
From the books: 0 of 5, capitalised in your own accounts and copied here
Declared: 1 of 5, which is what this screen is for
With a purchase record: 4 of 5, being the bank line that proves the purchase at claim time

A line you declared is not the same as a line with nothing evidencing it, and a claims handler weighs them differently, so a claim says which it is rather than saying "none".

Where these edits live

In the address of this page, and nowhere else. A reload keeps them, the back button keeps them, and every link on this page carries them forward, including the one to the claim. Send someone this URL and they see the same register; open /register?demo=calder-electrical without it and the ledger version comes back.

This business belongs to nobody: it is one of four fictional ones this prototype ships, so storing an edit against it would make one reader's register into everybody's. A business on an account keeps its register on the account instead, and no link carries anything.

No edits yet.

Two ways in that are not built

Both of them need somewhere to put a file. This deployment can keep a register and cannot keep a photograph of a receipt: a database row is not a filestore. Written up in full in asset-capture-concept.md, and stated here rather than drawn, because a picture of a working integration is the same class of overstatement as an audit that states something a ledger cannot show.

A receipt on an item: One invoice is routinely four tools, so the mapping is many to many and worth designing properly rather than bolting on. What the register can already say is which lines carry a purchase record and which do not, and it says it above.
A forwarding address: Forward an order confirmation and it files itself, at an address shaped like asset+<token>@docs.pickle.com. The token is the whole credential, so it has to be long, per target and revocable, and inbound mail is spoofable and has to be checked rather than trusted. Nothing receives that address today.

This is what the register is for.

The same register from the business's own side, carrying the same company and the same edits.
