Email Capital Asset Management at capasset@iu.edu to request both capital and non-capital asset tags.
If the IU Tag is torn, curled, or unreachable the tag number should be replaced. When replacing a tag, be sure to remove the old tag. It is very important that capital equipment only have one official university tag number. If the tag is not damaged or unreachable, try scanning the tag at a 45-degree angle or moving the scanning device about 6-10 inches away from the tag.
Change the room number and rescan the assets in that room.
The scanner will simply update the last entry of that tag number. No action is required.
No. When you scan an asset, you are only verifying the location of the asset at the time of inventory. The asset will show on the inventory of the organization that owns the asset. It is perfectly fine that you scanned another organization's asset.
No. Tagged assets are required to be scanned during your inventory period.
Verify the serial number listed on the asset of your report matches the serial number on the equipment. If so, contact the capital asset office for further instructions.
No. Capital asset status is dependent on more factors than just a dollar amount.
After all your assets have been scanned and all non-tagged and off-campus assets have been updated, run the Asset Inventory Reconciliation report in IUIE. If the report is clear (or returns no data) your inventory is complete for the current fiscal year. Please contact the capital asset office at capasset@iu.edu for assistance with running this report.
Errors that have not been resolved on the Bar-code Error Document will appear on the Asset Inventory Reconciliation report. Alternatively, the tag was not properly scanned.
