Identifying room numbers for received assets in PeopleSoft

Question: I have a new asset to receive in PeopleSoft. The room numbers have all changed in PeopleSoft. How can I identify the correct room number in PeopleSoft?

Answer:

The old room locations in Asset Track consisted of 4 components: Site, Center, Bldg. number and room number. The new PeopleSoft room locations do not include the “Center” information. The site, building number and room number are still represented in the new PeopleSoft room locations.

Here is an example of an old Asset Track location:

J 0120 0101 001010

Here is the new PeopleSoft room location for the above listed room.

J101001010

The site remains J for the Admin. Offices.

The building number remains the same: #101.

The last 6 numbers remain the same for the room number.

All PeopleSoft converted room numbers had to include 10 digits(letters and numbers). If only 9 digits were available from conversion, an extra zero was added to the room location at the end of it. Every room change may not be exact as the example above shows.

A room location search can be done using the “Look-up” option by choosing the magnifying glass icon next to the location field. Type in the site letter and building number and then choose the “contains” option. Choose the “Select” option next a list of all the available rooms at this site and building will appear to choose from to update the room location.
