How to Add Accessories to Existing Inventorial Equipment

Follow the steps below to purchase accessories for an existing piece of equipment.

UCSD has 2 types of equipment:

1. Inventorial equipment has an acquisition cost of $5,000 or more and must be tracked as property through EAMS (Equipment Asset Management System) and through UCSD’s financial system.
2. Non-inventorial equipment has an acquisition cost of $1,500-$4,999 and must be tracked only through the financial system, not through EAMS.

For more information on inventorial equipment, see Equipment Management Basics.

Note: To be considered an accessory, the value of the item must be at least $5,000. For more information, see Accessories, Freight, and Equipment Value.
