Asset Disposal - Terrapin Trader


University Owned Capital Asset Retirement Process -- Terrapin Trader

Step 1

The department fills out a Terrapin Trader Request Form of all the university owned assets that the department would like to retire through Terrapin Trader. Make sure both the UMD tag number and serial number are listed for each asset. If a department is unsure if an asset is considered university owned or federally owned, contact Emma Thomas (Inventory Control) and Gertrude Logan (SPAC). 

Step 2

Terrapin Trader picks up the assets and process the forms. Once the forms have been processed, Terrapin Trader sends copies of the forms to Inventory Control.

Inventory Control reviews the Terrapin Trader forms and initiates an Asset Retirement Global Document to retire the assets in the system.

Once the capital asset has been retired and the nightly batch has run, the asset retired global GL entries will have been posted in KFS.
