AIMS –Asset Inventory Management System

After the scanner information is uploaded into AIMS What’s next?

Scanner Information The information that is updated when the scanner file is uploaded in AIMS:  Physical location is updated or changed  The time the asset was scanner updates the time location verified  If the asset tag was scanned or manually entered  If your BU scanned the asset or if another BU did

Asset Information Time – from the scanner If the asset tag was scanned or manually entered and if the asset BU or another BU scanned it

Asset Information Time – from the scanner How the tag was entered in the scanner and by which BU

What happens if scanner information doesn’t have a valid room tag, asset tag number, or neither?

Suspense Errors: Invalid Asset Tag Number – tag number entered incorrectly on the scanner or scanned a non-capital asset that is not in AIMS. Bad Room Tag Number – room number entered incorrectly on the scanner, room tag number was defective, or no room tag number available so a building and room were manually entered. Bad Room and Asset Tag – neither the room tag and asset tag numbers are valid.
