AIMS –Asset Inventory Management System

AIMS – combines the following areas into one integrated system:

Property Inventory AIMS provides the following: Tracking and reporting (including depreciation) of all University owned capital equipment. Annual physical inventories of all University owned capital equipment.
4
Departmental Assets AIMS provides the following: Capability to create and maintain records for your non-capital assets. Maintain your own information for capital assets. Include in the annual physical inventory and surplus processes.

Surplus is the state sanctioned means of disposing of items (capital and non-capital) that are no longer needed. AIMS provides the following processes: Process for identifying items to surplus Approval by management of items to be disposed Items picked up and moved to the Surplus Warehouse Items auctioned to the public Surplus
6
What’s currently in AIMS? All active capital assets were converted from Property Accounting’s system. If an asset was disposed before the end of March, it was not converted (i.e. no record of the asset in AIMS). Property Accounting is continuing to maintain their old system as well as using AIMS to add new assets and maintain existing assets.
7
How will AIMS change during the next couple of months? Currently, you may to track and process changes to your assets using AIMS. You can use the departmental asset features of AIMS for both capital and non-capital assets. Surplus functions will be available for use before June 30 th. AIMS will be fully functional by July 1.
