section provides requirements and procedures for maintaining records of equipment possessed by and transferred from University units. Equipment records are maintained in Workday based on specific criteria.<\/p>\n<h3>2.0\u00a0 \u00a0 University and Departmental Inventory Records<a name=\"Two_0\"><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>The Property Inventory Unit of the Controller&#8217;s Office maintains a record of equipment possessed by WSU meeting the criteria for the University&#8217;s inventory system as indicated below. (<a href=\"http:\/\/apps.leg.wa.gov\/RCW\/default.aspx?cite=43.19.1917\">RCW\u00a043.19.1917<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>Departments maintain records of departmental equipment that meet the criteria for a departmental inventory system as indicated below.<\/p>\n<p>Numbered identification tags are placed upon all inventoried equipment. The identification numbers correlate the tagged items with the records maintained in either Workday or a departmental inventory database or spreadsheet.<\/p>\n<p>University (Central) Inventory records are maintained in Workday.<\/p>\n<p>The recording and tagging system facilitates tracking and periodic review of University equipment.<\/p>\n<h3>3.0\u00a0 \u00a0 Inventory Criteria<a name=\"Three_0\"><\/a><\/h3>\n<h4>3.1\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 University Property Inventory System<a name=\"Three_1\"><\/a><\/h4>\n<p>An item is added to the University\u2019s inventory record if it meets the criteria for capital equipment as defined by the state of Washington and interpreted by WSU Property Inventory. Items tracked in the University Property Inventory System are listed in Workday as \u201cCapital (depreciable capital asset).\u201d<\/p>\n<h5>3.1.a\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Standard University Inventory Criteria<\/h5>\n<p>University-inventoried items have the following characteristics:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cost is $5,000 or more<\/li>\n<li>Life expectancy exceeds one year<\/li>\n<li>Nonconsumable; the item does not change form with use<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5>3.1.b\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Additional University Inventory Items<\/h5>\n<p>In addition, items that are designated as trackable or small and attractive assets from a University-wide perspective must be inventoried in Workday. Such small and attractive assets are inventoried, regardless of cost, and include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Weapons, e.g., firearms, weapons, signal guns or related accessories.<\/li>\n<li>Laptop, notebook, and tablet computers.<\/li>\n<li>Equipment or vehicles that require a license, e.g., drones, motor vehicles, vessels, trailers, aircraft, farm equipment, and heavy machinery (see <a href=\"https:\/\/policies.wsu.edu\/prf\/index\/manuals\/business-policies-and-procedures-manual\/bppm-70-40\/\">UPPM\u00a070.40<\/a>).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5>3.1.c\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Items Not Inventoried in the University Property Inventory System<\/h5>\n<p>The following items are not usually inventoried in Workday:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Items that are part of a building or structure or are permanently installed in a building and support the operation of the building.<\/li>\n<li>Parts of another capitalized item.<\/li>\n<li>Items that do not meet the University inventory criteria (see <a href=\"#Three_1\">Section 3.1<\/a>).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5>3.1.d\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Alternative Procedure for Monitoring University Inventory Assets<\/h5>\n<p>The department chair (or equivalent administrator) may request approval to implement an alternate tracking procedure to monitor locations of University-inventoried department equipment. The administrator routes a description of the proposed procedure to the University Property Inventory Manager. After approval, the department is fully responsible for accurately tracking equipment items.<\/p>\n<h4>3.2\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Departmental Inventory System<a name=\"Three_2\"><\/a><\/h4>\n<p>University departments may track assets not meeting the University inventory criteria in a departmental inventory system or in Workday using noninventory spend categories. Generally, departments may record items costing less than $5,000 in a departmentally-maintained inventory system (see <a href=\"#Three_1\">Section 3.1<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Departments may use database or spreadsheet software or Workday to track such assets.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h5>3.2.a\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Department Small and Attractive Assets<\/h5>\n<p>University departments are responsible for identifying assets deemed small and attractive from the department\u2019s perspective. Such assets are items that do not meet the criteria for small and attractive assets required to be tracked in Workday. Examples include cameras, desktop computers, optical devices, recording devices, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Departments should ensure that appropriate procedures are in place to monitor and safeguard departmental small and attractive assets. Departments are responsible for tagging, inventorying, and tracking the items (see <a href=\"#Three_2_b\">Section 3.2.b<\/a> and <a href=\"#Three_2_c\">3.2.c<\/a>). The annual risk evaluation\u00a0includes questions regarding the management of small and attractive assets (see <a href=\"https:\/\/policies.wsu.edu\/prf\/index\/manuals\/business-policies-and-procedures-manual\/bppm-10-04\/\">UPPM\u00a010.04<\/a>).<\/p>\n<h5>3.2.b\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Tags and Numbers<a name=\"Three_2_b\"><\/a><\/h5>\n<p>The department identifies new items added to the departmental inventory system by affixing seven-digit bar-coded inventory tags purchased from University Stores; University Stores item #51251. (<strong>Note:<\/strong> If an asset was previously tracked in the University Property Inventory System, the department may use the old number and tag to track the item in the departmental inventory system.)<\/p>\n<h5>3.2.c\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Inventory and Tracking<a name=\"Three_2_c\"><\/a><\/h5>\n<p>Departments should periodically perform a physical inventory to reconcile the actual assets with the items tracked in the departmental property system.<\/p>\n<p>The department is responsible for disposing of obsolete assets (see <a href=\"https:\/\/policies.wsu.edu\/prf\/index\/manuals\/business-policies-and-procedures-manual\/bppm-20-76\/\">UPPM\u00a020.76<\/a>) and recording disposal of the items in Workday. See <a href=\"#Nine_1_a\">Section 9.1.a<\/a> regarding disposal of inventoried (tagged) items.<\/p>\n<h3>4.0\u00a0 \u00a0 Inventory Management<a name=\"Four_0\"><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>The inventory management process applies to all inventoried (tagged) property whether the property is maintained at the University or departmental level.<\/p>\n<h4>4.1\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Responsibility<a name=\"Four_1\"><\/a><\/h4>\n<p>The department chair (or equivalent administrator) is accountable and responsible for all equipment assigned to the unit. For this reason, a new department chair should conduct a physical inventory of all departmental equipment soon after assuming the position.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Exception:<\/strong> A designated Accountable Property Officer is responsible for federal excess equipment (see <a href=\"https:\/\/policies.wsu.edu\/prf\/index\/manuals\/business-policies-and-procedures-manual\/bppm-20-78\/\">UPPM\u00a020.78<\/a>).<\/p>\n<h5>4.1.a\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Equipment Coordinator (Business Asset Tracking Specialist)<a name=\"Four_1_a\"><\/a><\/h5>\n<p>The department chair designates one or two individuals as equipment coordinators and notifies Property Inventory so that surplusing authority may be updated. Responsibilities of equipment coordinators are outlined in this section (4.1.a).<\/p>\n<p>The department chair also submits a request to the applicable security partner to assign the Workday Business Asset Tracking Specialist role for the specified cost centers to the equipment coordinator(s). The Business Asset Tracking Specialist role enables the equipment coordinator to access departmental- and University-inventoried assets in Workday. (See <a href=\"https:\/\/policies.wsu.edu\/prf\/index\/manuals\/business-policies-and-procedures-manual\/bppm-85-33\/\">UPPM 85.33<\/a> regarding assigning security roles.)<\/p>\n<p>When an appointed equipment coordinator is off work for an extended period (longer than one month), the second appointed equipment coordinator steps in to maintain assets until the primary equipment coordinator returns.<\/p>\n<h4>4.2\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Personal Use<a name=\"Four_2\"><\/a><\/h4>\n<p>University property may not be used for private purposes. The department chair may not authorize the loan of equipment to an individual for private use. Likewise, an individual may not borrow University equipment for private use (see <a href=\"https:\/\/policies.wsu.edu\/prf\/index\/manuals\/business-policies-and-procedures-manual\/bppm-20-35\/\">UPPM\u00a020.35<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/policies.wsu.edu\/prf\/index\/manuals\/business-policies-and-procedures-manual\/bppm-10-65\/\">UPPM 10.65<\/a>).<\/p>\n<h4>4.3\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Equipment Rental<a name=\"Four_3\"><\/a><\/h4>\n<p>With the approval of the responsible principal administrative officer, the department chair may request that the central administration authorize rental of equipment items not needed in University operations (see <a href=\"https:\/\/policies.wsu.edu\/prf\/index\/manuals\/business-policies-and-procedures-manual\/bppm-20-40\/\">UPPM\u00a020.40<\/a>).<\/p>\n<h3>5.0\u00a0 \u00a0 Review of Inventory Records<a name=\"Five_0\"><\/a><\/h3>\n<h4>5.1\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Reviewing Records<a name=\"Five_1\"><\/a><\/h4>\n<p>Departmental personnel may review unit inventory records by directly accessing the data by using the Find Assets report function in Workday. (See the Workday Find Asset <a href=\"https:\/\/jira.esg.wsu.edu\/servicedesk\/customer\/kb\/view\/156962673\">reference guide<\/a> for instructions.)<\/p>\n<p>Personnel are advised to search by the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Coordinating cost center field;<\/li>\n<li>Spend category of SC00337 Small Equipment (non-inventoriable);<\/li>\n<li>Issued to; and<\/li>\n<li>Serial number.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Find Assets report may be exported and downloaded as an Excel file.<\/p>\n<h4>5.2\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Updating Records<a name=\"Five_2\"><\/a><\/h4>\n<p>Additions or changes to inventory records may be done in two ways:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Property Inventory staff may make the changes in Workday for the department;\u00a0 <em>or<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Department personnel may make the changes in the system themselves.
