Correcting Errors From The Barcode Inventory Upload
|
What You'll Need:
-- a Windows workstation running the
FIS/TP client software
- Correcting Errors
After you've successfully uploaded
the contents of your inventory into the FIS, an In Box entry is
created that details all the items inventoried that did not pass
validity checks against FIS databases. By opening and correcting
the items in the In Box document, you have the ability account
for all pieces of equipment that you inventoried, and reconcile
required Property Management information with the inventory. Here's
how to Use the In Box document to edit and reconcile your inventory:
-
After you've successfully uploaded
information into the FIS, you should receive an In Box document
with type BCIE for Barcode Inventory Error, or BCTE for Barcode
Tagging Error. To open this document, double click on the document
number, or highlight the document and click "Open."

-
Each entry of the Inventory or Tagging
Upload that contains incomplete or inaccurate information will
be displayed on its own line in the IN Box document, with a line
at the bottom of the screen offering detail about why the entry
was not successfully uploaded into the FIS.

-
Using the information in the Errors
dialog box, correct the information in the required field for
each line. In the example above, Room 207A is not listed as a
valid room number in the FIS.
Note:
You can pull up a list of valid values for Campus, Building, Room,
Condition, and Status by double clicking on that field, or by
highlighting that field and pulling down the Edit Menu and selecting
Detail.
- When you have corrected the required
information for a given line, click the Validate Line button.
The line that you have corrected will be checked against the FIS.
If there are no errors, the Errors section of the document screen
will indicate that there are none.
-
When you have completed correcting
and validating each of the lines in the Barcode Error correction
document, Click OK. If you choose to stop correcting errors by
clicking Cancel, the errors that you have corrected and validated
will be saved until you open the document again, and the document's
status in your In Box will be listed as "Deferred."
- Possible Error Messages:
Please note that the errors listed
below are cases that require special attention and handling.
Error: Capital Asset not found for
entered tag number.
These items should not be deleted.
After correcting all other errors, forward the document to Theresa
Cain, 855-9419. You can forward
this document to TCAIN, or any other valid FIS user, by clicking
the Workflow menu and choosing Forward. If you forward this document
to the University Capital Asset office, it will determine if
the items were retired in the Property Management System. Any
items coded as retired, but still remaining on campus need to
be added to the CAMS file using the "Add Asset Document"
as found equipment. A report will be returned to you listing
items, with enough information so that you may add the equipment
as Found.
Error: There is more than one asset
with tag number XXXXXX
At least one of the items in question
was incorrectly assigned this tag number. Locate each piece of
equipment that claims to use the IU Tag number, and verify that
the information in the FIS is correct, and correct the appropriate
asset using the Tag Asset Maintenance form. You can delete this
line form your document. Please do not assign an "N"
to either asset.
