Transferring Ownership of Items

You can transfer all or some of the items to another cost center, organization.

Before you start

Transfer must be selected within the Execute Transactions sections in the CMDB Items tab of your Configuration Management security role. If you have jurisdictions, and want to transfer items in jurisdictions other than your own, All Jurisdictions must be selected in the Order/Purchase/Transfer section on the same window.

You can only transfer items from the On Hand view if they have the status On Hand – Available. You can do this by adding a purchase, receiving an order, canceling a reservation or canceling an allocation. The items cannot be in use, reserved or retired.

1. The title and any description of the current software product or inventory appear at the top of this window. The Transactions window also has two tabs:

   Orders

   This tab allows you to add and manage your orders, that is record the number of items of a software product or inventory item you have ordered but have not yet received.

   Purchases

   This tab allows you to view and manage your purchases, that is the number of items of the software product or inventory item you have purchased as well as received from an order. The state of these items can change, that is they can be on-hand, in use, reserved, and retired. Each state (also referred to as a “transaction pool”) is represented by the tabs or views in the Purchases view (that is On Hand, In Use, Reserved, and Retired).

2. Select the Purchases tab. This is just below the Description field. This tab has two browse tables. The top browse table is the list of purchases, and has columns for all the purchase transaction details. The bottom browse table has four tabs or views, On Hand, In Use, Reserved, and Retired. Each view represents the state of the purchased items after a particular transaction was performed.

3. You can select Filter Columns below the table to show or hide columns. A blank value in a column means that this transaction detail was intentionally left unspecified or it is not relevant to the particular transaction.

4. Select the Show transactions for selected purchase only radio button above the browse table to only display the items in the bottom browse table for a selected purchase. Clear this option to list the items in all purchases.
