Physical Inventory Kit

Departments are required to conduct an annual physical inventory. The information in this kit will give you the resources you need to complete this task. The FAMIS Mobile Asset Inventory (FMAI) application is used by UT Austin departmental inventory contacts during the annual physical inventory. It gives inventory contacts the ability to scan, locate, modify, and update assets in the field.
