Capital Assets Processing

Capital Assets are items that were originally purchased by the University for over $5,000, departments are required to perform yearly inventory audits and the disposal of any capital asset needs to be tracked.

To send a Capital Asset to the Surplus Store, please create an Asset Transfer in MSU's Enterprise Business System (EBS). After you have submitted the asset transfer, you will need to submit an online pickup request.

Please note in order to submit this docuement you will need to have access level that allows for submitting documents in the EBS Finance system (KFS). For more information on system access please see EBS Security and Access.
