    It looks like the procurement stage of hardware lifecycle.

    Explanation:

    There are 3 main hardware lifecycle stages, and 3 stages in each of them:

    1. Pre-use stage - software is being prepared for use

    Consulting Procurement (when the hardware is delivered) Rent&Leasing

    2. Use of the hardware

    Maintenance Set up End of life

    3. After use

    Purchase&Sale Disposal Recycling

    The pre-used laptop form is not in the company's inventory, so it is a pre-use stage. Hardware is prepared for the new user, so it has been delivered to he company and it's ready for use, but it has to be added to the inventory.

    So it is a description of the procurement stage of the hardware lifecycle.
