ConceptDescription
AssetAn asset is something, that has a value and can be exchanged (e.g. product, service, raw materials, commodity, currency, ...).

First the asset itself must be described properly, so that the customer knows what he is going to buy, what the terms are, and how he can claim/obtain the real good. He needs to know the expiry dates (think in this regard of non-durable goods such as fruits or goods, which have storage costs) and perhaps some restrictions.
