  Description
  During recent transactions in DPAS, we found that assets do not come up in serial number order. This is causing issues when transferring of assets, especially if the transfer involves multiple assets, as you have to search through all of the assets listed under a custodian number to find the assets that need to be transferred. This is not just limited to transfers.

  Currently, assets come up by stock number. Serial numbers and asset IDs are presented in no order. Having assets come up in serial number order will lessen the time it takes to process a transaction in DPAS and put less strain on manpower.

  Recommended
  Add the capability to sort assets throughout DPAS by Serial Number order.

  Mission Critical
  Yes.  Property Administrators are spending large amounts of time searching for serial #s throughout DPAS.  Having them in serial number order will simplify searching on DPAS screens by giving users a quick look in numeric order.

  Benefits
  Having assets come on screen in serial number order will simplify searching on DPAS screens by giving users a quick look in numeric order.  This will reduce the amount of time it takes a property administrator to find an asset on a screen.

  Users
  Yes, the ability to look at assets in serial number order will assist all users in navigating DPAS screens/functions.
