I'm a bit confused on this one. I'll need to review the asset audit documentation to understand the different steps and when the Expected Assets list is filled in.

This seems pretty straightforward. I'm pretty confident that a factbox is the way to go here. It's designed specifically for displaying related information on a form, so that should be the best fit for the sales total data.
