# Configure Asset Movement

You can configure movement type for an asset such as Return movement type or Default movement type for tracking the movement of asset. The default movement type includes Store Movement, Floor Movement, From Repair, and To Repair. The return movement type process includes the various reasons for returning the assets.

When any of these movements are initiated, a workflow can be triggered to obtain as many as 10 levels of approvals.

### Configurations

- Movement Configuration needs to be set up for all the Asset Movement types and specific Asset Movements as described in the following section.
- Location-wise Approvers need to be mapped (see: [Configuring Location-wise Approvers](https://help.symphonysummitai.com/apex/docs/location-wise-approvers)).
- Approvals can be enabled or disabled for each Asset Category through the Approval Configuration setting

To configure Asset movement approval matrix, perform the following steps:

1. Navigate to **Asset > Configuration** > **Others** > **Movement Configuration.**
2. Select Tenant on the **MOVEMENT CONFIGURATION** page.
3. Click **ADD NEW** in the **ACTIONS** panel. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/62351b42-cfbd-43ad-8ce1-82b8f455337f/Images/Documentation/movement config.png) Figure: Movement Configuration
