Transfer to new Activity Nbr, Project ID, location or to a new Manager are the most common requests, therefore we recommend that specific reason and information be entered in the comments to prevent misinterpretation. Most physical transfer of equipment may require some assistance from Campus Services. If assistance is not needed the user should note in the comments – “department will physically move assets”. If the move is an emergency request – “RUSH” should be entered in comment box, and if requiring assistance, you can request it from Campus Services.

Managing Assets Under $5,000 All the assets under $5,000 as of June 30, 2011 have been loaded into the Share Point System. New Tag Numbers are available for these assets. The Custodian field was populated with the Budget Manger on record in PeopleSoft for each asset in the asset management subsystem. We have given access to the “Custodians” responsible for maintaining your area’s “Attractive/Sensitive” assets in this system. Additionally we have assigned an “Accountable Officer”(AO) and an “AO Backup” that can also be assigned. These individuals are the only employees allowed to see the information, and can be anyone the department chooses. If you should have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Alex Toribio from the Financial Systems Support group at
