Updating Hard Disposal Methods

The Update Hard Disposal Methods (PAUHDM) screen allows agencies to change disposal methods 03, 04, 08–18, 20–30. Only agencies exempt from the surplus process can use disposal methods 04 and 22.

Users that can update this screen have a designated title code of P (property manager) or A (alternate property manger) and a security profile of 01.

Fields that can be updated include:

  • New Disposal Method
  • Reason for Change

Note: Soft Disposals Methods are changed in the Disposal of Property (PADLET) screen. Soft disposal methods include 05, 6b, 7a, 7b and 19.
