Local fix

• here is a simple workaround for this issue but our client think
  its not acceptable.
  
  workaround: need to change the status of the decommissioned
  location to active
  
  
  Business case: I think the solution here is poorly designed. I
  should never have to move an asset back to a site or change the
  status of something to correct an issue. The system should
  either delete the associated assets when decommissioning a
  location or allow me to move an asset back to an original site
  even though the old record is associated to a decommissioned
  location. Thanks.
