This procedure outlines the steps to be taken to close Inventory for the fiscal year in the Redesign.
Pre-Closing Procedures
The following pre-closing procedures can be completed any time prior to closing the fiscal year.
- 1. Please ensure all pending items received prior to June 30th are entered as assets for the fiscal year. If the PO items were ordered prior to June 30, but are not received until after June 30th, they should be added as assets in the next fiscal year. Items can be pulled into the pending file, even though they may not be posted in Inventory until next year, as needed.
- 2. If the depreciation data has been changed so that it is necessary to completely recalculate the life-to-date (LTD) depreciation for several items, you may select the desired items from Transactions>Items grid and select 'Depreciate'. Using Depreciate from Transactions>Items grid will affect items that have had improvements (additional acquisitions) added to them throughout the life of the asset causing them to lose their true depreciation history. Please refer to the SSDT Items documentation for more information.
- 3. Ensure items that meet or exceed the entity's capitalization threshold are marked as 'capitalized'.
- On the Transactions>Items grid, add the 'capitalized' column and filter using the entity's capitalization threshold. For example if their capitalization threshold contains both a dollar and life limit threshold, enter both and enter 'false' in the capitalized column. If the query contains items that meet or exceed the threshold amounts but are listed as 'false' under the capitalized column, contact NWOCA for further assistance.
