Asset Management Explained

An Asset is an owned item of value. An asset is determined by its cost and physical properties.

Asset Management is a PeopleSoft Module that stores required asset information in our Oracle database. It is comprised of converted assets and now automatically adds new assets obtained through our online purchasing system at Nassau BOCES. 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.

The following guidelines have been established here at Nassau BOCES. There will be 2 groups of Assets that will be tracked:

1. Non-Cap Asset – Any item who’s unit cost is between the dollar amount of $500.00 - $999.99 is coded to account code 0300, 0302, 0303 which is a physical part of the contents of an area in any BOCES location. Here are some examples: Computer (desktop or laptop), Printers, Typewriters, Furniture – desks, bookcases, file cabinets etc, televisions, washers, dryers, Tools – sanders, drill press, etc.

2. Capitalized Asset – Any item who’s unit cost is $1,000.00 or more and is coded to account code 0200 and is located or used for any BOCES location.

We DO NOT track items in these categories that are purchased by us for school districts. Reminder equipment purchased for school districts should be coded to account code 0210.

Tagging an Asset Tags will be supplied to all the contact people who receive petty cash for each BOCES location. Departments who do the most tagging will also be supplied with tags. Tags can be obtained from the main office where petty cash is kept for your location. Note: If you are in need of tags contact the Asset management staff in the Auditors Office at ext. 2217.

Nassau BOCES PeopleSoft Financials v 9.1 How to Determine What is an Asset

Here are some examples: Computer (desktop or laptop), Printers, Typewriters, Furniture (desks, bookcases, file cabinets etc), televisions, washers, dryers, Tools (sanders, drill press, etc). These items are tracked but are not computed in the Asset Calculations.

Use Profile id NONCAPASST for all Non capitalized assets.

Capitalized Asset – Any item who’s unit cost is $1,000.00 or more and is coded to account code 0200 and is located or used for any BOCES location. These items are tracked and computed as the Assets of Nassau BOCES.

26

Nassau BOCES PeopleSoft Financials v 9.1 Disposal codes reflect the Retire As action that is selected to initiate the retirement transaction. Asset Management calculates gain or loss amounts depending, in part, on the disposal code that you select. This table describes the available options in the Retire As field:

Code Usage Gain/Loss

Abandonment Select when the asset has no resale value and it is left behind. Gain/loss calculations are based on the asset net book value.

Cannibalize for Other Assets

Select when the asset has been dismantled and the parts are reused within the organization.

Gain/loss calculations are based on the asset net book value.

Casualty Loss Select when an asset is unintentionally destroyed. If the asset cannot be sold, you may incur removal costs disposing of it. Retiring an asset as a casualty may have tax consequences if you have tax credits and the asset is not fully depreciated.

Asset Management deducts the accumulated depreciation from the retirement amount and adds the removal costs to determine the amount of the casualty loss.

Disappeared Assets

Select when an asset cannot be located and you are not sure whether the asset was abandoned or stolen. Disappeared assets have no proceeds or removal costs.


Disposal Due to Theft

Select when an asset has been stolen. Stolen assets have no proceeds and no removal costs.

Donated to External Group

Select when an asset is donated. You typically use this option when assets are donated to nonprofit organizations for tax purposes.

Asset Management deducts the accumulated depreciation from the retirement amount, treating proceeds and removal costs as appropriate, to determine the gain or loss.

Like Kind Exchange

Select to process like-kind exchanges under U.S. federal tax code. See Like-Kind Exchange Processing later in this section.

Missing Asset Select when an asset is missing. Missing assets have no proceeds and no removal costs.


Retirement by Sale

Select if you sell an asset. (If you sell the entity that owns the asset, you must retire all assets that are owned by the entity.) You can use the interface with Billing to generate the bill.

The proceeds and removal cost from the sale, less the net book value of the asset, determines the gain or loss.

Returned to Inventory

Select when the asset is returned to a common internal pool where it is available for others to use.


Scrapped Assets Select when the asset is no longer useful and has no resale value. The gain/loss calculations include removal costs; accumulated depreciation is deducted and then the removal costs are added to derive the amount of the gain or loss.

Traded In for Another Asset

Use when you are trading one asset for another. See Processing Trade-Ins in this section.

38

Nassau BOCES PeopleSoft Financials v 9.1 Correcting wrongly classified Assets (Capital vs Non-capital) Assets obtain there classifications from the profile they are entered with. The profile cannot be changed once an asset is added to the system. The reason being is that the profile determines and causes all accounting transactions that are to occur when the asset is added to the system. In addition a tag is already assigned. To correct these situations this is the process that should be followed. 1. Dispose of the original Asset select abandonment. See Disposals on pages 25 for instructions. Once the Disposal is complete continue. 2. Add the Asset with the proper classification and information. See Add an Asset on page 28 for instructions. Note: you will not be able to enter the same tag number so add the tag number and put a capital “R” after the asset number.


39


Asset Warranties Many assets are acquired with a standard manufacturer's warranty that the asset is free of defects and what remedies are available to you if the asset manifests a warranted defect during normal use, such as eligibility for a replacement asset, or a loaner while the warranted asset is repaired. The warranty often defines the period for which the asset is warranted, the maintenance and repair responsibilities of the owner, and the procedures for making a claim in the event a defect in the asset is discovered.

Warranties are sometimes available for extension. This may involve the issuance of a separate warranty that becomes active when the original warranty expires. Or it may warrant components of the asset that the standard warranty excludes. A warranty may contain different expiry dates for different components of the asset. It may provide for on-site repairs, may require return material authorizations (RMA), and may or may not be transferable.

Navigate: Main Menu -> Asset Management -> Service and Maintenance -> Asset Warranties Enter the tag number of the Asset then click the search button.

Nassau BOCES PeopleSoft Financials v 9.1 In the Asset Warranties screen fill out the following information:

Effective date: <The date the receipt was entered into PeopleSoft> Warranty End Date: <The end date of the period of time when the warranty expires> Coverage: <The details of the warranty> Example above is for a 3 year warranty for the period of 4/17/2013 – 4/16/2016.

Asset Meters Meters associated with assets are used to monitor asset usage and can trigger maintenance tasks based on the statistical units, such as mileage, measured by the meter. For example, a common asset meter is the odometer installed in a company vehicle that measures the number of miles the vehicle has traveled. For this type of asset, it is common for certain maintenance activities to be performed on it based on the number of miles traveled by the vehicle since the last maintenance event.

A less common, but familiar application, involves public utilities. State and local agencies use asset monitoring devices such as a water or electric meters attached to a home or commercial entity to measure the amount of water or electricity consumed by the entity. The units consumed are measured on a routine basis and the occupant is usually billed for the units consumed. The maintenance events associated with these types of meters may not have anything to do with the number of units measured since the meter was last read and other maintenance plans will have to be affected.

PeopleSoft uses meters to both measure asset usage and to trigger preventive maintenance tasks. Asset meter activities are performed within PeopleSoft Asset Management and PeopleSoft Maintenance Management applications. To enable meters, you must first define asset meter types. The meter types are associated with specific asset IDs.

To enable this feature contact the system adminstrator at ext. 2402.

Once configuration has been completed meter readings can be tracked. See the following screens for example.

Nassau BOCES PeopleSoft Financials v 9.1 Asset Maintenance All assets usually require some level of maintenance service or repair. Many are also acquired with accompanying insurance or warranties. PeopleSoft Asset Management provides features enabling you to manage and track these asset attributes. To enable this feature contact the system adminstrator at ext. 2402.

Asset Maintenance, Service, and Inspection Management

At various intervals, all assets require some degree of maintenance, such as routine mechanics for company vehicles or repainting an office or building. Scheduling and tracking this type of maintenance provides a more complete picture of the true costs and revenues associated with these assets.

PeopleSoft Asset Management provides features to track the details of individual maintenance events by date and time, the person responsible for the maintenance, the vendor who issued the maintenance contract or warranty, and the cost.

Whenever an asset requires maintenance, you can track exactly when the maintenance takes place, how long it will take, and how it will affect cost and performance. Annual tune-ups may require that some automobiles are unavailable at certain times. Damages to machinery can result in large expenses due to unavailable equipment, as well as replacement and repair costs.

PeopleSoft Asset Management additionally provides the tools to view the maintenance history by type of maintenance performed or by the date that the maintenance was performed. Using inquiry pages, you can determine if any asset, or group of assets, requires a particular type of maintenance too often. For example, a vehicle that requires several quarts of oil more often than every 1,000 miles may have more severe underlying problems. Similarly, a piece of equipment that requires repeated repair or replacement of a particular part may be defective and should be replaced.

Keeping detailed records of maintenance events helps manage the physical aspects of your assets. You can compare detailed repair estimates to actual costs and evaluate whether a warranty or maintenance contract on the asset can lower the costs that you may incur. Or a review of an asset maintenance history can help you make decisions about addressing underlying costs that are driving up the cost of production. Some assets additionally require routine inspections related to licensing or other validations or certifications. PeopleSoft Asset Management provides inspection and license tracking.

Defining Parts associated with maintenance

Asset equipment parts lists (EPL) are maintained by setID. You can establish a parts list to correspond to asset classes, groups, categories, types, and subtypes, or to any asset definition. The EPL can then be associated with a specific asset ID.

Asset Disposal Quick Reference Guide For “PS Financials Asset Management Manual” go to

http://www.nassauboces.org/Page/1432 I have something with a BOCES tag that needs to be disposed, what do I do? Each building Principal and/or Program Manager has designated staff (refer to manual page 50) to complete the Asset Disposal Form in PeopleSoft, to begin the process (refer to manual page 21). Once the Board approves the disposal a notification will be made to the appropriate person to discard the item in about one month. What if the tag # is not found in PeopleSoft? Send email to Barbara Golemme – Internal Auditor, cc. Program Manager/Principal, and James Muir, with the tag #, description, manufacturer, model #, serial #, location and any other information you have about the asset. Include the reason for disposal and your contact information. Once the Board approves the disposal a notification will be made to the appropriate person to discard the item in about one month. How do I Transfer an Asset? Transfers are handled between the parties relocating the Asset. The originator of the request should initiate a work order or Customer Care Center call depending on the type of equipment for relocation. The receiving party is responsible to update PeopleSoft with the new location and room # information of the Asset by following the instructions on page 19 of the Asset manual. For Computer Equipment call the Customer Care Center–ext. 1770 for just Transport call Facilities ext. 2000 after completing a work order. How can I check the status of my disposal? In PeopleSoft bring up the Approval Disposal page and click on the Approval History link (refer to manual page 22) if necessary you can contact the last person in the approval process for further details. Note if Barbara Golemme has approved the asset it might be waiting for board approval and the “Approval Status” will show Complete. If the “Status” shows Disposed, an email notification would have been sent to the Requester and appropriate staff to discard the item. The complete process takes approximately one month. When should the Asset Tag be removed? After the asset disposal has been approved by the board, the Custodian or the Inspector should have the tag removed and destroyed. Once the tag is removed then the item should be discarded properly. ** For warranty swap – remove tag on broken item, place on new item have serial # info updated. What if the Asset was sent for repair and cannot be fixed? The Requester will be informed and he/she must start the disposal process (refer to manual page 21). What is the Asset Acquisition date? This is the date that the Asset was received at BOCES. Note: There is a group of Assets which have the Acquisition date 06/30/2007 which is incorrect due to a data conversion issue. If you need to dispose of an asset with the Acquisition date 06/30/2007 try to determine the proper acquisition date for the Auditor when submitting the request. Who do I call for questions about an asset? Auditor Ext. 2216 Who do I call for questions about using the PeopleSoft Electronic disposal form? Ext. 2574
