Accounting and Financial Management Governance – Expense

The following general ledger/commitment items are used to record expenses as category 2 and 3 of the Statement of Financial Activity (SoFA) report. The categories are outlined alphabetically.

PURPOSE

To record the purchases, retirements, and transfers of equipment. In the Funds Management (FM) module, when a piece of equipment is purchased, the entire expense is recorded in FM. In the Finance (FI) module, any equipment purchase over the $5,000 threshold will be capitalized and depreciated over the ‘useful life’ period,

GENERAL LEDGER/COMMITMENT ITEM
Commitment ItemCommitment Item Name LongDescription 
537200Capitalized EquipmentCapital equipment titled to Purdue.  Capital equipment is
defined by property accounting as any tangible item costing
$5,000 or more with an expected useful life of more than one
year that will not lose its identity through use.
Equipment that meets the capitalization threshold is not
expensed for financial statement purposes, but is recorded
as an expense for budget consumption.  This causes a
reconciling item between financial and budget reporting.
537300Fabricated EquipmentAn asset is to be classified as fabricated when multiple
orders are placed with multiple vendors, so that a single
functioning unit can be assembled with a total acquisition
value of $5,000 or greater.  This GL should never be used
when ordering a piece of equipment.  This GL will be used
when the fabricated equipment is completed and a Change in
Asset Funding (Form – CAF) is submitted.  This will be used
for non-sponsor owned fabricated equipment.  Use of this GL
will not remove associated F&A costs.  Fabricated equipment
is charged F&A costs in accordance with the University’s
cost policies.  If after the item is complete and it is not
determined to meet the capitalization level, all
expenditures will stay on GL 523120 Cap Fabrication S&E.
537500Sponsor Titled EquipmentCapital equipment titled to the sponsor.  Capital equipment
is defined by property accounting as any tangible item
costing $5,000 or more with an expected useful life of more
than one year that will not lose its identity through use.
Equipment that meets the capitalization threshold is not
expensed for financial statement purposes, but is recorded
as an expense for budget consumption.  This causes a
reconciling item between financial and budget reporting

The Project and Portfolio Management dashboard will be a tool used to view project data. Our customers have increased exposure to the financial data related to projects. This is enabling quicker response to project financial requests.  Today, project budget management varies by project manager, project size and available tools.

PURPOSE
  • Student Aid – Agency “expenditures” on 558999 is used ONLY to budget Outside Student Aid on a dummy fund and fund center (69999999 Budget University Scholar 1098002000 558999 Student Aid – Agency NOT-RELEVANT).  Therefore, in general, Student aid – Agency amounts DO NOT flow from the balance sheet to the CAT 3 expense and revenue accounts.
    • This “dummy” budget entry was first created for FY 17 and FY 18 BOT Budget reporting purposes only. 
    • Note:  For FY 19 budget, we created “dummy” budget entries, but for BOT reporting, the entries were filtered out and NOT reported.  
    • Because this is only a “dummy” expenditure budget entry, do not anticipate posted SOFA Trend YTD “expenditure” activity on the Cat 3:  Student Aid – Agency.  Transactions that do post should be reviewed by Accounting
  • Agency fund award/scholarship recipients are chosen by an external entity (what distinguishes from PU Operating).  Outside aid disbursement runs through the Agency fund (in theory PU agency funds are just a pass through) to help insure that we over package/over award to the student.
    • In general, the actual “expenditures” for 13XXXXXX Outside Student Aid will post on the appropriate Agency funds and balance sheet GL’s. 
    • For state programs individual funds have been used to track and manage aid by academic year (last 4 digits). 
    • Prior to FY 18, we had one fund for the academic year, shared by all three campuses. One fund, many campuses. 
    • For FY 18 we subdivided into individual agency funds with Fund Master Cost Centers for each campus, in order to isolate each campuses activity.
