Quick Intro to Equipment Management What is Inventorial Equipment?
Generally it is defined as the equipment assets that are either titled to or under the custodial control of the University that are:
Non-expendable,
Tangible,
Personal property,
Acquired for $5,000 or more,
Which is freestanding,
Complete in itself,
Does not lose its identity or become a component part of another piece of equipment when put into use, and
which has a normal life expectancy of more than one year 6/19/2017 4<br>

Quick Intro to Equipment Management What does Equipment Management do?
Establishes and maintains procedures related to Inventorial Equipment that bring the University in compliance with Federal and State regulations
Review all Inventorial Equipment transactions:
Acquisition
Modification
Transfer
Disposition
Report Inventorial Equipment to federal, state, and private sponsors (as required) under the University’s awards
Creates the initial Inventorial Equipment asset records
Distributes property tags
Coordinates the annual inventory process
Conducts department audits
For More information on equipment and our University requirements please see University of California (UC) Business & Finance Bulletin BUS-29 6/19/2017 5<br>

Quick Intro to Equipment Management What are the department’s primary responsibilities?
Manage and maintain Inventorial Equipment records
Location data needs to be up-to-date so each asset can be located within a reasonable timeframe
Ensure that manufacture, model, and serial number information is complete and accurate
Update the usage and condition codes at least annually
Report any other required changes to Equipment Management
Apply received Property Tags to Inventorial Equipment
Coordinate transfers/dispositions, per policy requirements, with Equipment Management and/or Logistic Services
Ensure adequate physical security of University property
Complete Annual Inventory and biennial Physical Inventory Verification entries 6/19/2017 6<br>

Correcting Common Misconceptions Inventorial Equipment DOES NOT fully depreciate and drop from the active inventory
This only applied to low value assets purchased for less than $5,000 that were acquired prior to 2004
University is required to maintain cradle-to-grave accountability
Equipment Management DOES NOT run the University’s Surplus Operation
This operation has been run by Logistic Services (formally Storehouse) since approximately 2011
Please see http://matmgmt.ucr.edu/storehouse/surplus.html for more information relating to their Surplus Operation
Equipment Management is only involved as needed
University property CAN NOT be sold or scrapped without the approval from Equipment Management or Logistic Services (regardless of current property’s value) 6/19/2017 7<br>

What is the Asset Management System? Interim solution to replace the Equipment Management System (EMS)
What are the reasons for replacing?
EMS is a 40+ year old IBM Mainframe system
User access and reporting are difficult
What are the benefits?
Web based
Single sign-in (CAS)
Access assigned via EACS
R’Space Authorized Applications
Increased transparency and easier access to information
Integration with FMS (Facilities Management System)
Ability to add comments and attachments 6/19/2017 9<br>

What is the Asset Management System? What are the functions of the system?
Campus wide database of Inventorial Equipment records
Ensures compliance with federal regulations
Assist with generating property close-out reports
Processes departmental request for equipment dispositions and transfers (EIMR’s)
Verifies and tracks departmental completion of annual inventory requirements
It will have a phased implementation
Additional roles and functions will be implemented over time for a variety of University functions 6/19/2017 12<br>

FY2017 Equipment Inventory SAA’s will need to designate the Department Custodian (Equipment Custodian) as soon as possible
Inventory is due on 7/7/2017 for all departments
All assets records must be up-to-date
If a biennial Physical Inventory is due all assets must be physically located by department
All EIMR’s for dispositions and transfers should be submitted prior to inventory verification
New Requirements for the Inventory Verification:
All assets must have completed location data
Site, Building, Floor, and Room Number (for on-campus assets)
Location Description (for off-campus assets)
All assets must have completed serial number data 6/19/2017 14<br>

Notes on the Data Field Migration Custodial Code Department Code
Departments no longer need to know Custodial Codes
Custodial Codes remain in the AMS for UCOP reporting
Department Codes are now reflect asset assignment
Any active Department Code from the University’s accountability structure is assignable
May have implications on how departments wish to split Equipment Management duties and asset assignment
For example: The School of Medicine (SOM) Organization
In EMS the SOM consisted of only three (3) custodial codes
In AMS the SOM has approximately thirty-five (35) departments
Assets were assigned to Department Codes based on the “loose relationships” of Custodial Codes to Activity Codes 6/19/2017 16<br>
