- A custom checkbox 'Tracked Container / Cylinder' is added to Asset Category.
- on_submit of Asset: if its category is tracked, a Container record is created with the asset's serial, purchase date and location.
- Depreciation, asset value adjustment and scrapping remain fully inside the ERPNext asset module.
- Every filling, delivery and return writes an Asset Movement so the asset's location is always current.
- Container Tracker owns filling, reconciliation, customer balances and chargebacks only.
- Container status changes to Scrapped when the linked asset is scrapped in ERPNext.
