Departmental Inventory System

University departments may use the Departmental Inventory System to track equipment not recorded in the University-wide Property Inventory System (see 20.50).

Generally, items costing less than $5000 may be recorded in the Departmental Inventory System. Use of the Departmental Inventory System is not mandatory.

Departments may use the Departmental Inventory System to update the online departmental inventory record by changing, adding, moving and deleting item records.

Access the Departmental Inventory System through the online AIS Property Application. See 20.50. Online help is available.

Departments identify new items added to the Departmental Inventory System by bar-coded inventory tags purchased from Central Stores. The Central Stores item number for inventory tags is 51251.

Items previously dropped from the University's campus-wide system may be tracked by the old numbers and tags.
