A stored dossier is requested for loan; authorize the recipient, location and due date, then inspect its return.
Physical records archive
Digitization does not end responsibility for paper. Manage location, custodian and every transfer by BoxID/DossierID.
Inputs and starting conditions
Reconciled manifests, warehouse–zone–shelf–location hierarchy, retention policy and handling permissions.
Workflow and control gates
- 01Register location
- 02Put away
- 03Receive request
- 04Approve / transfer
- 05Reconcile custody
Match identifiers at movements and preserve the paper–digital link. Retrieval, delivery and end-of-retention action require requests and authority; digitization does not authorize removal.
Exceptions and recovery
Wrong locations, missing boxes, incomplete delivery or hold-blocked requests: open a discrepancy and investigate custody before confirming completion.
Roles, outputs and states
| Responsibilities | Evidence and states |
|---|---|
| Custodians update locations; owners/delegates approve requests; carriers acknowledge delivery; auditors inspect custody. | Location history, manifests, receipts, approvals and authorized destruction evidence. States: stored → handling request → transferred / authorized disposition. |
Scenario and acceptance criteria
