Overview
This article will describe the overall process for Fabrication Requests
Critical Concepts
- With the implementation of OFC-PPM there is no longer a need for departments to submit a Fabrication Request to the Equipment Management Office
- The Fabrication identification FAB number has been replaced by COA-POET(AF)
- Fabrication-related Expenditures are now tracked through PPM and controlled under the Project(s) and Task(s)
- Departments, in cooperation with OCGA, OPAFS, and Plant Accounting, are responsible for the Classification, Budget Approval, Expenditures and Accounting of Equipment Fabrications
- Departments are responsible for reporting Fabricated Equipment to the Equipment Management Office upon completion
- Once reported as Equipment to the Equipment Management Office, it will be recorded in CAMS, assigned a UCID number and added to the inventory of the responsible department
Steps to Take
