Frequently Asked Questions

How do I access the Surplus Property System (SPS)?

If I add a new user today via WAM, when can I expect the user to have access to the SPS?
The next day. The SPS is updated nightly by WAM.

-
Will account information be available in the SPS?
No.
-
Who will receive the e-mails concerning the status of the Disposal Request?
The e-mail requesting approval will go to the person chosen as the Approver on the Disposal Request. The Contact Person chosen when the Disposal Request was created will receive all other e-mail notifications.
-
When an Authorized Signor who has access to multiple Orgs gets an e-mail regarding a Disposal Request, how will they know which one to log into for approval?
The e-mail will contain the Org name and number.
-
If an Asset # for an item is entered by more than one person on separate Disposal Requests, will the SPS alert the user that the item has already been sent to surplus?
No. Assets have the potential for being transferred in and out of the warehouse several times, and the SPS allows for this recycling.
-
Can items that belong to the department be listed on the same Disposal Request as items that do not belong to the department?
Yes.
-
Can I come “shop” the Surplus Warehouse to acquire items for my department?
Due to COVID-19, the Surplus Warehouse is closed for department sales. Check this website for updates. See our Excess Redeployment to Campus Guide more information of Asset Redeployment to Campus.
-
I received a notification that another department is attempting to dispose of an item that belongs to my department. What happens when I approve or disapprove the notification?
The contact person in the owning department will receive an e-mail notification containing the Asset # and contact information for the requestor. The original owning department may contact the requestor to reclaim the asset and arrange for it to be returned, or ignore the notification and the asset will go to Surplus.
