Significance and Use5.1 Movement is the act or process of physically relocatingtangible property from one location, internal area, or person toanother within an entitys site, generally regarded as an onsitelocation change.5.1.1 Movement applies to tangible property relo
18、catedwithin an entitys facility, for example, building and roomchanges within one site.5.1.2 Movement is recorded by means of internal entitymovement documents such as move orders or hand receipts.All movement must be authorized and documented.5.1.3 Movement typically does not include any change toa
19、ccountability or ownership but may include a change inresponsibility and stewardship.5.1.4 Movement documents are used to update and supportrecords established and maintained for management and auditpurposes.5.2 Shipment is the physical relocation of tangible propertyfrom one facility, geographical
20、location, customer, or entity, orany combination thereof, to another and may or may notinclude a transfer of accountability.
