Custodian
The Custodian (CUSD) reference page is used to set up individuals, groups, or other organizational entities that will be charged with the responsibility of a fixed asset. Use of this descriptive feature is optional unless the Custodian Required indication on the Fixed Asset System Options is Yes.
If a restriction by department and unit are desired, then the Valid Fund Department Unit Custodian page must be used, but it does mean replicating the department and unit combination for each possible combination of Responsibility Center Fund.
