A hardware disposal order goes through various stages in the disposal process before
it's completed. With each stage, the task that's associated with that stage changes
too.
Closing a task in the hardware disposal process completes that task and automatically
creates the next task in the process. For example, after you close the Schedule Pickup task,
the state for that task changes to Closed Complete and the next task, Asset Departure, is
created. This process continues until you close all the tasks required for disposing of the
selected assets. After you close all the tasks, the disposal order is completed.
