Rotating asset receiving to use inspection date instead of received date for GL integration

Currently there is a "transaction date" for service receipts (ServRecTrans), but it appears it isn't updated after an inspection has been completed.  When we receive a rotating asset repair service that is flagged as requiring inspection, the TransDate currently stores the receipted date.  It could be a few weeks before the inspection is completed, and when we transfer the cost details to our GL, but it uses the TransDate as this is the only value on the record.  We've had situations where the item has been receipted in the previous month, and when the GL transaction is sent to the finance system, it fails as the financial period has been closed.

Either the TransDate should be updated when an inspection is completed as this is when we've "accepted" the item, or there should be another financial period / date on the record when a rotating asset repair has been inspected that we could use for integration.  Our current work-around is to have an automation script that overwrites the TransDate when the inspection is completed.
