13.1 Asset Management Setup Information The Asset Management module is designed to record all assets individually and depreciate them each month for the appropriate amount. Accounting entries are generated each month to the appropriate asset accounts in the General Ledger. Asset Management stores the following types of asset information: Financial information includes details about cost, books, depreciation method and convention, and useful life. Physical information includes asset tag numbers, specifications, location, custodian, and manufacturer. 13.1.1 Asset Profiles Asset profiles function as templates to provide a quick way to enter asset information. Each profile has a unique profile ID and has several pages that describe the profile. The highlighted fields on the Definition tab shown below are an example of the default profile information set up for local councils: Asset Description: When entering an asset, the value associated with the asset will default in the Asset Description field. Asset Type: Defines the type of asset for reporting purposes. PeopleSoft delivers these asset types: Hardware, Software, Equipment, Property, Fleet, Machinery, Furniture, Facility, Intangible, and Other. When entering an asset, the value associated with the asset will appear in the Asset Type field. Acquisition Code: Selects the default acquisition code for the asset. When entering an asset, the value set at Purchased or Leased associated with the asset will appear in the Acquisition Code field. Available options are Constructed, Donated, Leased, Like Exchange, Purchased, Trade In, and Transfer. Capitalized Asset: Selects the indicator to default if the asset is a capitalized asset. The default value is Capitalized Asset. 13-3
The highlighted fields on the Depreciation tab shown below are an example of the default profile depreciation information set up for local councils. Many fields on this page are left blank based on the business requirements for local councils. Category: Defines the category of an asset as defined in the Local Council Accounting Manual. Examples include: Method: Defines the default depreciation method as Straight Line because the BSA has chosen this method of calculating depreciation as referenced in the Local Council Accounting Manual. Useful Life: Defines the default useful life based on the table of estimated useful life referenced in the Local Council Accounting Manual. 13-4

13.2 Adding and Maintaining Assets The Asset Management module is designed to record all fixed assets individually and to depreciate them each month for the appropriate amount. Asset Management stores two types of asset information financial and physical. Financial information includes cost, books, depreciation method and convention, useful life, etc. Physical information includes such things as tag number, specifications, location, custodian, and manufacturer. Asset Entry Workflow Asset entry workflow describes the steps to enter an asset into the Asset Management system. This workflow has been designed to accommodate the manual entry of an asset. Two add methods (Express Add and Basic Add) are used. The Express Add method takes advantage of the system defaults to streamline entry and Basic Add is used to enter physical attributes about the asset. Entering assets consists of a few steps. Accounts Payable: 1. Accounts Payable Transactions: Record the asset in Accounts Payable using the 1800 (unallocated asset acquisition) account. The system will debit the 1800 account and credit the 2006 (accounts payable) account. 2. Asset Management Transactions: When the asset is added in the Asset Management module, the system will debit the asset account (1801 1836 based on the asset profile selected) and credit the 1800 (unallocated asset acquisition) account. Accounts Payable Debit 2-1800-XXX-99 (Unallocated Asset Acquisition) Credit 2-2006-000-00 (Accounts Payable) Asset Management 2-1821-xxx-99 (Furniture, Fixtures, & Equipment) 2-1800-XXX-99 (Unallocated Asset Acquisition) 13-6
Construction-in-Progress: Account 1841, Construction-in-Progress, in the Capital Fund is designed to record all costs associated with the process of building a fixed asset. For example, someone has donated the money to build a new building at camp. The accumulation of vendor invoices and contract payments will be recorded in the Construction-in-Progress account and later moved to the Buildings Camp fixed asset account. Setting up a project code for each project is recommended so that you can isolate all of the expenses related to the construction of the asset. Record the construction in progress invoices in Accounts Payable using the 1841 (Construction-in-Progress) account and the project code of the project. The system will debit the 1841 account and credit the 2006 (accounts payable) account. Accounts Payable Debit 2-1841-XXX-25 (Construction-in- Progress) Credit 2-2006-000-00 (Accounts Payable) When the construction project is completed, a journal entry must be made to record the asset transactions. 1. Journal Entry: Debit account 2-1800-xxx-xx (use the same project and class code that will be used when entering the asset in Asset Management). Credit account 2-1841-xxx-xx (use the appropriate project and class code). 2. Asset Management Transactions: When the asset is added in the Asset Management module, the system will debit the asset account (1801 1836 based on the asset profile selected) and credit the 1800 (unallocated asset acquisition) account. Construction-in-Progress (Journal Entry) Debit 2-1800-XXX-25 (Unallocated Asset Acquisition) Credit 2-1841-XXX-25 (Construction-in- Progress) Asset Management (Asset Addition) 2-1812-xxx-25 (Buildings Camp) 2-1800-XXX-25 (Unallocated Asset Acquisition) 13-7
13.2.1 Add Assets Using Express Add (Recommended Method) Express Add adds assets using an asset profile for default book and depreciation information. When assets are capitalized, most of the critical information is derived from the asset profile by default, and detailed physical information can be entered later. Navigate to the Express Add menu to add an asset. Business Unit: Enter the council number in the Business Unit field. Asset Identification: Enter the desired asset number in the Asset Identification field or leave the default NEXT to accept the system-generated asset number. (Don t confuse the asset identification number with the tag number, as it is a different field.) Click the Add button. 13-8
Follow the steps below to add assets into PeopleSoft: 1. Profile ID: Select the asset profile ID from the lookup list. 2. Description: Enter the asset description. 3. Location: Select the location of the asset. 4. Trans Date: Typically, this date represents the date the asset is acquired. Depreciation is calculated from this date. (This date defaults to the acquisition date.) 5. Acctg Date: The date the transaction will post to the General Ledger. 6. Accum Depr in Current Pd: Check the box to have the system book accumulated depreciation for the asset to the current period. Otherwise, accumulated depreciation is booked to the previous period. If that is the case, you may need to reopen the period, calculate depreciation, and close depreciation again for prior periods. 7. Currency: System should default to USD. Rate Type: System should default to CRRNT. 8. Book Name: System should default to ACTUALS. 9. Quantity: Make this 1 to keep each asset set as a single asset ID. 10. Cost: Enter the cost or fair market value of the asset. 11. Salvage: Enter an amount, if applicable. 12. Category: Choose the category that matches the asset description. 13-9
13. Accum Depr: Enter the amount of depreciation already recognized. If you are adding assets that have depreciation from prior years or prior periods, enter that amount in this field. 14. YTD Depr: Enter the amount of any portion of the accumulated depreciation amount that applies to the current fiscal year. 15. Fund: Enter 2. 16. Project: Select the project code where depreciation expense is to be recorded, e.g., 000. Note: Chartfields (Fund, Project, and Class): When entering the funding string, this is where the acquisition and future depreciation will be recorded, so if the project code is inactivated, the asset will need to be transferred. 17. Class: Class code 25 should be entered for camp (program) related assets. Class code 99 should be entered for non-camp (unallocated) related assets. 18. Default Profile: When the Default Profile button is clicked, two additional pages will appear the Depreciation Information page and the Tax page. Information on these pages will default from the profile ID. Information on this page will default from the Profile ID. 19. Asset Type: Select a value to indicate the type of asset. The options are Equipment, Facility, Fleet, Furniture, Hardware, Intangible, Machinery, Other, Property, and Software. 13-10
20. Asset Status: Indicate the status by selecting one of the following options: Budgeted: Asset is budgeted but not placed in service.

Received: Asset was received but is not yet placed in service. Suspended: Depreciation has been suspended for this asset. Transferred: This asset was transferred from another business unit. WIP (work in progress): Asset is acquired for a project under way. 21. Acquisition Date: Enter the date the asset was acquired. 22. Acquisition Code: Select an acquisition code: Constructed, Donated, Leased, Like Exchange, Purchased, Trade In, or Transfer. 23. Parent/Child: If you are adding a parent or child asset, select the parent/child asset option that applies. 24. Parent ID: If this is a child asset, enter the parent asset ID with which to associate it. 25. Save: Click the Save button to save the asset. Depreciation Information: Click the Depreciation Information tab to view or edit depreciation information. The system automatically populates several of the data fields (highlighted below) displayed within the Depreciation Information tab. Information such as the method of depreciation and useful life of the asset in months and years is populated from the asset profile. The information should be verified and changes made if necessary. Many fields on this page are left blank based on the business requirements for local councils. Information on this page will default from the Profile ID. The default values for highlighted fields should not be changed with the exception of Useful Life: 13-11
1. Status: System default is Depreciable. 2. In Service Date: System defaults to the acquisition date. 3. Useful Life: The default value is determined from the asset profile. The period can be changed if necessary. For example, a donated asset may not have the same useful life value as assigned by the asset profile, and a different useful life value should be entered. 4. Save: Press the Save button and an asset ID will be assigned. Remember the asset ID number, as you will need it to add the physical information. Once saved, the asset is in a pending transaction status and can be deleted or edited until the end of the business day. An overnight process will calculate depreciation and create accounting entries for the asset. 13.2.2 Change/Delete Pending Transactions If an asset entry error is identified before the overnight accounting entries are processed, the asset information can be edited or deleted. Navigate to the Change/Delete Pending Trans menu to make corrections. 13-12

13.8 Asset Processing When assets or leases are entered in Asset Management, no processing takes place. Processes must be run periodically to calculate depreciation, create accounting entries, and generate journal information. Asset Management will create journals that go into the ACTUALS ledger. The following is a list of transactions that should be run periodically. 13.8.1 Month-End Processing Month-End Procedures Navigation Process Verify Open Transactions It is a good idea to review transactions to make sure the open transactions match expectations. *Run Calculate Depreciation You must run the depreciation calculation process to calculate depreciation for every transaction you perform against an asset. Run this process as often as you like. Asset Management>Depreciation>Open Transactions> Review Asset Management>Depreciation>Proce ssing>calculate AM_DEPR_CALC *This process runs automatically each night. *Load Depreciation Reporting Tables OPTIONAL Used for delivered reports. Should run this every time you run AM_DEPR_CALC to ensure the reports are showing accurate information. *This process runs automatically each night. View Depreciation Summary OPTIONAL Good idea to spot check before creating accounting entries. Create Accounting Entries Entries may be reviewed at AM>Accounting Entries>Review Financial Entries. May prefer to process Calculate Depreciation and Create Accounting Entries daily. Note: Must run Depreciation Close to create depreciation accounting entries (see next step). Asset Management>Financial Reports>Load Reporting Tables>Depr Reporting Table Asset Management>Depreciation>Revie w Depreciation Info> Asset Depreciation Asset Management>Accounting Entries>Create Accounting Entries AMDPREPT AM_AMAEDIST 13-40
**Run Depreciation Close The Depreciation Close process generates period depreciation accounting entries for all depreciable assets in a particular accounting period, including lease payments and offset accounts for the period. Run this process only for an accounting period that has not yet been closed. This process can be reversed or rerun if errors are detected in the results. This is where the depreciation entries are created. This, along with the journal generator, gives you the depreciation. To check this out, go to view asset accounting entries for an asset, run this process, then view the entries again. DPR should now show for the period processed. This will have to be run for every period. **This process does not run automatically each night. View Asset Accounting Entries The Review Financial Entries page is used to review accounting entries that have been created during asset processing, such as additions, transfers, depreciation, and so forth. *Run Journal Generator Select AMDEFN Accounting Definition Name to limit entries to AM. Limit business unit selection to your business unit. *This process runs automatically each night. *Load Depreciation Reporting Tables Once you have created accounting entries for an accounting period and run journal generator, you load the depreciation reporting tables to update information on depreciation reports. *This process runs automatically each night. Asset Management>Accounting Entries> Close Depreciation Asset Management>Accounting Entries> Review Financial Entries GL>Journals>Subsystem Journals>Generate Journals Asset Management>Financial Reports>Load Reporting Tables>Depr Reporting Table AM_DPCLOSE FS_JGEN 13-41
13.8.2 Verify Open Transactions To view open transactions, navigate to Asset Management>Depreciation>Open Transactions>Review. Conduct a search of Asset Management by any criteria to narrow the field to just open items. The system keeps track of each asset and its status, so to determine the assets that need depreciation processing, change the Depreciation Calc Status to: not = Completed Depreciation. The pending transactions will be shown. 13.8.3 Run Calculate Depreciation (Automated Process) This process is run automatically overnight. This process must run to calculate depreciation for every transaction performed against an asset. This process can be run as often as needed. To run the Calculate Depreciation process, navigate to Asset Management>Depreciation> Processing>Calculate. 1. Find the run control or click the Add a New Value tab. 2. Run Control ID: Enter Calculate-Depreciation (no spaces allowed). 3. Click Add to create the run control. After initial creation, it may be searched and used in the future. You should need only one control for this effort. The following page will display: 13-42
Be sure to change the Process Frequency field to Always, and enter your business unit and book name (ACTUALS), then click Save. By leaving the From Asset ID and To Asset ID fields blank, you will calculate depreciation on all valid assets. Click Run to start the process and the following page will display.

13.10 Fixed Assets Reconciliation in PeopleSoft The following steps will aid in the fixed asset reconciliation process for councils using the PeopleSoft Asset Management module. Step Description 1 Print the Net Book Value report 2 Generate a Trial Balance in Excel format and save the file as the asset reconciliation worksheet 3 Filter asset reconciliation worksheet by Fund 2 and 18xx accounts 4 Add columns for net book value amount and variance 5 Enter asset and accumulated depreciation values from the Net Book Value report 6 Research variances between the Net Book Value report and GL accounts 7 Correct reconciliation variances Step 1. Print the Net Book Value report for the reconciliation accounting period. Instructions to print the Asset Net Book Value report are located in APP6 of the user guide. Once the Net Book Value Run Control is set up, enter the fiscal year and accounting period, and then click Run. The example shown below will produce the Net Book Value report for February 2013. Check the box next to Asset Net Book Value Detail, and then click OK. 13-80
Navigate to the Report Manager menu, click on the Administration tab, and click on the Asset Net Book Value Detail link to open the report. 13-81
The Net Book Value Detail report displays asset information, such as the account number, asset description, and asset ID, and account chartfield information, such as the fund, project code, and class code of each asset. The report also displays the asset cost, current month depreciation, year-to-date depreciation, life-to-date depreciation, and the net book value of each asset grouped by category. Default page breaks are set as account numbers change. The last page of the report provides report totals. To print the report, move the mouse to the lower middle portion of the report and a menu will appear. It is recommended to print the report in landscape orientation because the report font is small. 13-82
Step 2. Generate a Trial Balance for the reconciliation accounting period and export it to an Excel spreadsheet. Save the file and rename it as the asset reconciliation worksheet. Step 3. Filter the asset reconciliation worksheet by Fund 2 and the 18xx accounts. 13-83
Step 4. Add a column for net book value (NBV) information and a column for variance information. Step 5. Enter asset and accumulated depreciation values from the Net Book Value report to the Net Book Value (NBV RPT) and Variance columns of the asset reconciliation worksheet. 13-84
After the Net Book Value report values are entered on the asset reconciliation worksheet, verify the asset totals entered on the worksheet to make sure they agree with the asset total displayed on the last page of the Net Book Value report. 13-85
After the Net Book Value report values are entered on the asset reconciliation worksheet, verify the accumulated depreciation totals entered on the worksheet to make sure they agree with the LTD Depr total displayed on the last page of the Net Book Value report. 13-86
Step 6. Research variances between the Net Book Value report values and the Trial Balance account values. There may be a variety of reasons why variances exist between the Net Book Value report and asset and accumulated depreciation account balances on the Trial Balance. The first action to take is to verify that all asset management accounting entries are created and posted. Ensure that all asset addition, adjustment, transfer, retirement, and depreciation journal entries are created and posted. If depreciation entries are missing, the Depreciation Close process will need to be run in order for the depreciation accounting entries to post. 13-87
It is not uncommon for an asset management journal entry to have a Journal Header Status of Errors if the accounting period was not open when the asset management transaction was created, as shown in the following example. Step 7. Correcting reconciliation variances may be as simple as closing depreciation for a specific period or editing and posting a journal entry that was created but may have errors. If the information presented on the Net Book Value report is not correct, refer to the appropriate section of this chapter for instructions on how to change asset information within the asset management module. If the Net Book Value report information is correct, then a journal entry should be made to correct asset and accumulated depreciation accounts on the Trial Balance so the values agree with the information on the Net Book Value report. 13-88
