I believe we did enter all the details of the items. Part of entering items into the inventory system includes entering the description, serial number where available/applicable, source of funding (If purchased from Federal Funds those Funds were identified in the system, we also identified the FAIN when possible), acquisition date, cost, use and location. When items are disposed of, we enter the disposal date, any proceeds and reason in the system.
We did attempt to enter all the items by scanning purchases periodically throughout the year, however, we must have missed a couple items. Although we apparently missed a couple, we made an honest attempt to pick up and enter all items. We plan to correct this by reviewing purchases each week as purchase orders are paid and compiling the assets continuously throughout the year, rather than at periodic times during the year.
For the duplicated items entered, we had one person being trained on the process and both the trainer and trainee entered these four items into the inventory system. Going forward, we will only have one person entering items utilizing one list and individual fixed asset addition worksheets. This process will be a better way of double checking to ensure items are not duplicated in the inventory asset records.
