- IndAfSolicitud: Asset request/transfer records with full audit trail
- IndAfLocalidad: Physical location definitions with company hierarchy
- IndAfCuadroAprobador: Approval matrix configuration

Getting Started
To work with the Activos Fijos API:- Review the Queries documentation to learn how to retrieve asset and request data
- Check the Mutations documentation to understand how to create locations and requests
- Ensure you have appropriate permissions for the operations you need to perform
Security Considerations
- Asset data includes sensitive financial information and should be protected accordingly
- Requests should only be visible to the requester, custodians, and approvers
- Location security contacts should have restricted access to their location’s assets
- All mutations create audit trail entries with user identification and timestamps
