Most Significant Policy & Procedure Changes
The capitalization threshold has been raised to $5,000. Exceptions to this include art and books.
Desirable assets (i.e., computers & lab equipment) valued between $1,000 & $5,000 will be tagged but not capitalized.
The AM module will produce up to date depreciation calculations for inquiry and reporting.
Departments will be responsible for maintaining asset physical information and can run their own capital asset reports.
Proceeds on capital asset disposals will no longer be treated as revenue, but will be factored into the gain/loss calculation.

Asset List by Location
Your UPK training shows you how to run reports in PeopleSoft Asset Management. There are other reports available (locations highlighted below).
Although these reports are not necessarily required for the tasks you perform, you may find them useful.
To find these reports go to Asset Management> Financial Reports >. . .

Asset Management Training
If you are running additional reports, it is important that you know when and how often batch jobs run. This will tell you the frequency of information update.
Remember that asset information is not immediately migrated to the Asset Management module.
A weekly job moves information from the pre-AM tables to the AM module.
Depreciation Calculation begins once the data is in the AM module.
AM reports will show weekly depreciation and net book value, however depreciation only hits the GL once a month.
Depreciation is recorded only by fund and account in the GL and is not charged to departments.
