Swiftline Couriers Ltd switch Not a live product

Nothing is on this register yet

No purchase over £150 appears in the ledger, so there is nothing here to value. Put the first item on from the page you bought it from, or type it in.

What only you can add

Nothing in the ledger looked like a purchase, so everything here goes on the way the two cards below do it. The first one is four fields fewer than the second.

Nothing here to identify yet

A serial number is what identifies a specific tool as yours once it has been taken. There will be one to add as soon as there is an item.

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.

The page is read here, in this request, and nothing off it is written down. It takes a second or two, and the button will not spin: this page ships no JavaScript on purpose.
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, what it cost, what replacing it would cost today, and where it came from. The two money columns are the reason an accounting fixed-asset register cannot be used as a sum insured: it holds the left one.

0 items 0 with a serial number
Item Bought Cost Replacement Source Adjust
The header is here so the columns still say what would have been

Cost, replacement value, where each line came from and what would evidence it at claim time. Nothing has been found to put under it yet.

Replacement value is derived from category and age. No form on this page offers to set a sum insured.

How this list keeps itself

Where the rows come from

Found in the ledger
0 of 0, described, categorised and valued without anybody typing
Declared by the business
0 of 0, which is what this screen is for
Carrying a purchase record
0 of 0, being the bank line that evidences the purchase at claim time

A declared line is not the same as an unevidenced one and a handler weighs them differently, so the claim states 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=swiftline-couriers 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.

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.
