JULY 2008 MEETING – The July 2008 meeting will be Thursday, the 31st, 9:30-10:30 a.m., at ML Chapman Room.  The meeting schedule is posted on the Web page through October 30th, 2008.

INVENTORY UPDATE –  IT is currently doing inventory, with only about 28 out of 428  left to resolve.  The next inventories will be ASP in April, and ACD in May.  Then there are nine inventories in June and seven more in July.  We will complete the cycle sometime in October or early November.

RESP PERSON UPDATE –The January 2008 Responsible Person Update is coming to a close.  Chris has made approximately 138 changes in the database, compared with a total of 292 for the last update.  We continue to see improvement in the total amount of corrections, while seeing more of the staff actually checking assets off as they verify them.  Of course, location is the winner again this time, with 68 of the 138 corrections.

TRAINING –

OBJECT CODES – Object code changes…Chris has been working on changing object codes on non-asset items when he reviews the PR’s.  Most items come in with a 5260 object code, and he has been correcting them to read 5280 for computer parts, 5281 for computer systems, 5284 for tech/scientific parts, etc.  We run reports at the end of year and we need to have these in the correct object codes.

SENSITIVE PROPERTY – Master Lists – Many of the divisions have been sending in their sensitive property lists, and Chris is converting them into a list that is comparable to the inventory Master List.  This will help the divisions out when it comes to doing their sensitive property inventories.  You can request a Master List from Chris and he will see if a scanner is available for use.  Scanners will be available to borrow only if he has one that will not be used in the Fixed Asset inventory.
