1. What is MySales?

MySales is a website that will offer customer agencies the benefit of managing their personal property. MySales offers two user screens that will allow custodians and property managers to monitor the status of their surplus and exchange sale property that has transitioned into the GSA Sales Program.

2. How is MySales used?

MySales is divided into two distinct functional areas. The first is the Custodial Functions module which is an item management tool. By using MySales, property officers and custodians will be able to report a new item for sales, modify line item data, review sale items status, respond to messages that are sent to you from GSA, and withdraw items from sale. Eventually custodians will be able to post pick-ups from remote locations.

A second programs screen, the Custodial User Maintenance, will be used by only personnel designated by the agency to assign and monitor the access of custodians and other property personnel.

3. Who Uses MySales?

Users of the Custodial Functions program will range from the reporting offices' personnel to the warehouse custodians. The Custodial User Maintenance is a more controlled screen, and is available only to those authorized officials and designated persons appointed by their agency.
