What is the proper process for turning in property?

Turning in property requires an auditable, documented process that moves assets from active inventory to approved disposition or transfer. Start by initiating the turn-in in the property system so the item enters the official disposition workflow and is assigned the correct disposition code (disposal or transfer). Then tag the items with the proper property labels to clearly indicate they’re being disposed of or transferred and to prevent further handling. Next, physically turn in the items to the designated property accountability or receiving point, verifying that the items and serials match the system records and recording the item’s condition as needed. Finally, update the records to show a zero balance, removing the asset from inventory and financial records and preserving an accurate audit trail. This sequence ensures accountability, traceability, and proper disposal or transfer. Shredding records or returning items informally, selling items without authorization, or just notifying a supervisor without updating records all bypass controls and can lead to loss or misstatement of property.
