8. EACR section 6=Property Details The EACR form is in place to track the lifecycle of every item acquired by CSU- all items have value or residual value to the University and are required to be dispositioned in the correct manner. Failure to completely fill section 6, can result in items being dispositioned incorrectly, resulting in losses for the University and audit exceptions for Department and University assets. All the information pertinent to the item being disposed is necessary in this section ( excluding the shaded areas). It is important that Property Management can identify the items being disposed. If the CSU decal is missing or written in error, then the other demographic information can help identify the item.
