Notes and Updates to Tuesday, May 28th's Equipment Coordinators meeting on the FY13 A110 inventory and FY14 IDC Rate Inventory

by Colannino, Kara

Good Afternoon All, Please see the attached PDF’s that relate to this past Tuesday’s Equipment coordinators meeting. Attached you will find a PDF copy of the inventory instructions, a copy of OMB Circular A110 Equipment section, and some FAQ’s surrounding equipment inventory. A question regarding what date to use as the inventory date has been clarified. It has been confirmed that the FAS FY13 A110-required biennial Physical Inventory is to be for all capital transactions in Equipster through 6/30/13. All assets should be inventoried and marked with inventory dates from 7/1/13 - 10/15/13. For those that may be seeking assistance with their inventory, Rady Rogers of FASTRAC helps in recruiting interns for the FAS RAS Community. Please contact her directly at rmrogers(a)fas.harvard.edu<http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~research/quick_links/rmrogers@fas.harvard.edu>, or 781-697-9215 to discuss your needs. I thank you all for your patience with Equipster the past 2 years, we have made some great strides in making sure the data coming in is correct as well as in making sure that some of your requested upgrades have been instituted into the system. As of Friday, May 24th you may have seen an increase in your unassigned transactions; this is because we are now pulling in the following: GL_JE – Transactions from 03/16/2012 (yes 2012) going forward. Please email me with any problems such as duplicates, wrong amounts, dates or any other irregularities that you encounter when assigning your assets. Now that the programmers have figured out the missing data feeds we will be looking into how to pull old missing data into Equipster. I would also like to thank you in advance for your assistance with the upcoming A110 physical inventory as well as the future FY14 IDC Rate Calculation Inventory, which will take place next spring. It is unusual that we have back to back inventories but due to the timing of the IDC rate proposal it is necessary to complete the two inventories. Having these inventories back to back will also help clean up our data for the new Oracle Fixed Assets Program that is to come online sometime during FY15. Have a great weekend.

Equipster Slow

by Colannino, Kara

Hi All, Please note that several of FAS Systems are running very slow yesterday and today. Administrative computing are working on these issues. I will let you know when things are back up to speed. Thank you for your patience.
