Background - which you already know, but let me set the stage. Relinquishing grant-funded equipment when a PI transfers to another university is technically a courtesy. We're happy to do it, when the University couldn't really use that equipment anyway.
Documenting that willingness to relinquish requires routing.
Does the post-award/fund manager module allow for this need? We're in the process of purchasing that, but I've wanted it for so long, I sort of think it's like the pony I never got for Christmas ;)
If Fund Manager does allow for that routing and documentation of the transfer, then I won't spend any time developing a new procedure. (Believe me when I tell you that you don't want to know what the old procedure was.) If it doesn't, then I'd be curious how people are tracking that, something other than paper.
Thanks,
Andrea
