Why do the departments have to update FABweb?
A. Departments have detailed information required for a complete Banner Fixed Asset record which OBFS Property Accounting staff does not know. Therefore, departmental staff must update the new acquisition record with commodity code, description, location, custodian, equipment manager, model, manufacturer, serial number, component, trade-in information. When existing equipment is re-assigned, only the department can change the location, custodian, and equipment manager information. Rather than sending these changes to OBFS Property Accounting staff to enter, it is faster and more accurate for departmental staff to enter the information directly into FABweb for upload to Banner.
