Kuali CAMS Group Roles & Responsibilities

• Develop and enhance the IU Asset Management System to meet the baseline needs of member institutions.

• Provide a system that allows member institutions to manage data regardless of size, scope.

• Develop functional specifications and training documents that meet the needs of member institutions.

• Develop a system that meets GASB/FASB standards.

System/Module Overview

• Flexibility is “built-in” to the system (user access, searchable data elements, field length, notes, etc.)

• Standard reconciliation reports are available

• Maintains query based reporting tools.

• Functional Specification documents are “key” to module development as they provide an overview of module processes.

• Business Rules are established for each module of the CAMS/CAB system and are used by the user/developer as a guideline of how the module works.

• Business Requirements and Assumptions provide a list of the top level requirements of the module.

• Flow of Events Section provides an overview of available user scenario descriptions and/or use cases.

• Workflow and Routing Defines how documents are routed to the appropriate fiscal officer or delegate.

• Database Objects/Permissions

System Benefits

• Automation of journal entries• Standard reporting and reconciliation tools• Multiple user access• Ability to handle specialized government reporting requirements• Inventory tracking and reporting• System Integration consistent with Kuali FIS system.• Automated process for creation of capital assets• Automation of manual processes, data entry• Ability to accept batch feeds from other systems • Web Access by Department

Note: Based on analysis of processes of participating institutions

Key Accomplishments to Date

• Completed review/training on IU CAMS/CAB system.

• Developed detailed documentation related to current business rules, workflow and routing actions, permissions, and database objects.

• Identified baseline system requirements.

• Completed detailed “wish list” of enhancements for consideration in future phases.

Future Plans/Looking Ahead

• “Hands-on Training” using sample data

• Develop final versions of functional specification documents

• Develop a state of the art non-moveable additions process

• Testing

Accuracy of Data

• Valid Values– Asset Type Code– Condition– Inventory status

• System Edits– Active Account

• Business Rules– Non-capital asset inventory

status = “N”.• Reconciliation Reports

IU Asset Categories

• Capital Moveable– Equipment– Fabrications– Lease Purchases

• Capital Non-moveable– Art and Museum – Bonds– Buildings & Building Improvements– Infrastructure– Land– Leasehold Improvements– Library books

• Non Capital

How the assets are created at IU

Capital Asset Builder (CAB) Equipment Fabrications assets are created by the fabrication document. Invoices modify the existing

asset. Capital Lease assets are created on a Financial Document Art and Museum

Add Asset Document & Add Payment Document Bonds Buildings & Building Improvements Infrastructure Land Leasehold Improvements Library books

Add Asset Document Non-capital assets are created by departments Capital Equipment Gifts

Additions Processed in CAB

• Moveable additions are processed in the Capital Asset Builder.

• Process:– Requisition issued in the Electronic Processing

and Invoicing Center (EPIC). Capital object code is assigned.

• Purchase Order is approved– Payment Request is issued and approved

» Payment hits the General Ledger» Batch process loads data into CAB

Depreciation

• Depreciation expense is calculated from a stored procedure that updates the asset database on a monthly basis. The Straight Line method is the basis for the calculation, along with a method for Salvage Value. Federally owned payments are excluded from the depreciation calculation. In addition, no Deprecation will be taken on Art and Museum Objects, Land, or Leasehold Equities. Each asset is depreciated from the asset create date, and the assets useful life assigned to the asset type code. Non-Movable assets use a ½ year convention for assigning the create date. The Deprecation entries Debit Object Code 51XX, Depreciation Expense, and Credit the appropriate Accumulated Depreciation Object Code based on the Object Code Sub Types in the Asset Object Code Table.
