Districts who choose not to migrate their Classic EIS data or did not use Classic EIS may start "new" in Inventory. Please refer to the Inventory Installation and Migration Guide for installation steps that must be performed in order to create a new inventory instance. These include:
- Environment configuration
- Scrip Locations and Setup
- Setting up the inventory database
- Connecting the created network to Nginx (if applicable)
- Setting up the the inventory application
- Connecting Inventory to USAS
- Updating Existing Application Containers
- NOTE: Some parts of the 'Application Setup' in the Post Import Procedures may be applied to districts starting new in Redesign.
- Core>Configuration
- Click on ‘Edit’ to enter the district information such as IRN, District Name, Last Inventory Fiscal Year and Foundation Percentage (if applicable). If the district is GAAP compliant, the GAAP box must be checked in order to activate the necessary GAAP settings/restrictions in the software. Please click here for more information on a GAAP district starting new in Inventory.
- Core>Fiscal Years
- Create the current Inventory fiscal year. The capitalization criteria is also included which is comprised of a dollar threshold and/or life limit. These values are determined and set by Board policy. The figures entered will determine which items will be capitalized and included on the GAAP reports.
- Create Pending Item Data. Please refer to the 'Pull from USAS' option under Pending Items for steps on how to pull USAS-R PO items marked for inventory into the Inventory application.
- If using USAS-R, ensure the EIS Classic Integration Module is installed as well as the EIS Classic Integration Configuration pending threshold criteria is set up. Both of these should have been completed as part of their USAS migration (USAS-R Post Import steps). Once in place, when a PO item meets the pending threshold (during AP Invoice processing), it will be marked for inventory and may pulled into the pending file using the 'Pull from USAS' option under Transactions>Pending Items.
