Good Afternoon,
I would like to thank you all in advance for your hard work bringing our equipment data
up-to-date in Equipster over the last few months. I appreciate all your hard work that
goes with Equipment Management. Your patience with the system, the sometimes laborious
task of entering and assigning assets into Equipster can be frustrating.
Sheila and I have spent an intense amount of time reconciling Equipster to the General
Ledger, I am happy to say that we have reconciled all of FY12 and FY13. During this
time we have been working with the programmers to make some changes so that we are
capturing everything that hits the GL and as of May 22nd, we are closer to that goal than
ever before. With that said, there are still some outstanding Equipster data issues -
they include wrong dates, some assets remaining on the homepage when they have already
been assigned; these issues are being addressed with the programmers.
INVENTORY - DEADLINE is Today, October 15, 2013, some of you have already emailed to
report your completion of your inventory and for those who have not, please email me at
kcolann@fas.harvard.edu<mailto:kcolann@fas.harvard.edu> let me know what is the
status of your inventory. If you have been unable to complete it by today, please
include where you are at and what your time frame is for completing this required A110
inventory.
The next Equipment Coordinators meeting will be on November 13th, at 2:00pm, location and
agenda will be forthcoming.
Thank you again and I look forward to hearing from you.
Best,
Kara
