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 tab of 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.

The fields that are not self-explanatory are listed below:

Field Name	Description
Inventory Officer	An optional field to capture the name of the individual responsible for the custodian.
Inventory Area	An optional free-form text field to capture any details about the custodian or where the custodian is located for reporting and asset inventory purposes.
Department	An optional field to associate custodian with a specific department to prevent associating a custodian with an asset component where the custodian doesn’t belong to the Responsibility Center Department for the asset component. When not populated, there is no such limitation.
