  ****************************************************************
  Reason for change:
  When any rotating tool/asset is transferred cross-sites, and
  returned back to the original site and storeroom but with
  different binnum, then the invbalances update according to
  binnum but the binnum values for asset/tools are not updated
  correctly (under rotating asset/tool tab).
  Change:
  The change thus made is when the asset/tool is returned
  cross-site, we check the owner.getOwner - matusetrans mbo if the
  binnum is updated by the user while returning, if the binnum
  value differs for the asset and the matusetrans record then we
  update the asset binnum value while transferring.
  For the same sites, it works fine as we check and update owner =
  asset.getOwner - matusetrans mbo, while for the cross-site, we
  needed this check for owner.getOwner.
