Capitalization Threshold Memo
This memo was distributed to the University to inform departments of the new equipment account codes effective July 1, 2005. There has been a change regarding the proper account code to use for computers under $1,000. The account code 3189 should be used for all computers under $5,000. Capitalization Threshold Memo

 

ASSET TAGS

The tagging process does not begin until a purchase posts in Banner to an account that Property Accounting monitors (3189, 9000, 9020, or 9040). Account Code 9060 is a holding account that is used to track purchases that will be made over time and will be combined to form one piece of equipment (known as a Fabrication).

In order to post in Banner, a Chrome River report or PO must be fully reconciled and have completed the approval process. This means that there may be a time difference between receiving the equipment and receiving an asset tag.

Asset Tags are associated with a specific item using a serial number (or service tag for Dell computers). Providing a serial number as soon as it is known will help the asset tag process.
