How to Handle a Fabrication of Inventorial Equipment
|
|
| |
Summary: Follow the steps on this page to handle your fabrication from beginning to close-out.
UCSD has two types of equipment:
- Inventorial equipment has an acquisition cost of $5,000 or more and must be tracked as property through EAMS (Equipment Asset Management System) and through UCSD’s financial system.
- Non-inventorial equipment has an acquisition cost of $1,500-$4,999 and must be tracked only through the financial system, not through EAMS.
For more information on equipment, please see Equipment Management Basics.

How to do it |
| 1 |
Make sure the inventorial equipment is a fabrication. |
- A fabrication, also called a "fab," is an item manufactured from component parts. When the completed item has a value of $5,000 or more, can stand alone, and has a useful life of one year or more, it is considered a piece of inventorial equipment.
- If it is a fabrication, go to Step 2.

Submit the Fabrication Request form. |
- Download and complete the Fabrication Request form (PDF).
- Send the form to Equipment Management, Mail Code 0953.
- Equipment Management will assign a fabrication number and notify you.
Note: If you cancel the fabrication after you have received the number, complete an EIMR (Equipment Inventory Modification Request) and send it to Equipment Management, Mail Code 0953.
