  II ? Steps to replicate the issue:
  
  1) Go to Inventory Usage application
  
  2) Create an Inventory Usage record to transfer to another
  Storeroom (for example, PKG) one of the Rotating Assets whose
  Condition Code is NEW
  
  3) Save Inventory Usage record, leave it in ENTERED Status and
  take note of its number
  
  4) Create another Inventory Usage record to issue to an
  Operating Location (for example, BR400) the same Rotating Asset
  as above
  
  5) Save Inventory Usage record and change its Status to COMPLETE
  
  6) Go To Inventory Usage and bring up the first usage record
  created above.
  
  7) Complete the Usage.
  
  The issue is:
  
  This Usage is for Transfer Asset from CENTRAL to Storeroom PKG.
  The Asset is no longer in the CENTRAL Storeroom. The system
  allowed the transaction to complete. It should have stopped here
  as the Item(Asset) is no longer in Storeroom from where it was
  to be transferred.
  
  Check the Inventory Counts and notice the differences in count.
  The previous count was 2 for Condition ?NEW?. The Asset is no
  longer in this Storeroom and still the count for Condition ?NEW
  was deducted by 1, both in the LIFO/FIFO Costs and Inventory
  Balances. The total count is 1 NEW and 4 USEABLE. However the
  Associated Assets did not change and the count there for
  Condition Code NEW is 2, which is correct.
  
  Furthermore, the Asset is transferred to Storeroom PKG. The
  system should have stopped this transaction as the Item (Asset)
  is not in the Storeroom from where it was supposed to be
  transferred.
