Agency Task 322 (Due 6/23): Validate that converted asset data loaded into SMART correctly during the dress rehearsal.

• The objective of the task is to review the listing of converted assets from SMART to ensure that your agency’s data carried over successfully during the cutover conversion.

• After reviewing the converted data, agencies should complete the Task 322 spreadsheet that is provided with your conversion results and return it to SunflowerFMS@da.ks.gov. This spreadsheet serves as your verification that your converted data appears correct on the asset listing provided with the task.

• This task will work the same as Task 311 did during the dress rehearsal, except that agencies will only have one day (June 23) to review the converted data.

2. Any capital assets acquired between June 16 and June 30 will not be able to be included in your assets conversion file. Agencies will need to enter these assets online in SMART by July 15. The Assets Online Data Entry Template has been created to assist agencies with this task.

• All leases—capital and operating—must be entered in SMART after go-live.

• Prior to entering a lease in SMART, your agency must determine what type of lease it is—capital or operating. To do this, review FASB Statement No. 13. A lease is considered a capital lease if it meets at least one of the following four criteria: There is an ownership transfer at the end of the lease. The lease contains a Bargain Purchase Option (BPO). The lease term is 75 percent or more of the asset’s life. The present value of the minimum lease payment is 90 percent or more of

the Fair Market Value (FMV) of the asset.

• Leases between state agencies, expired leases, daily rentals, and service contracts should not be entered in SMART.

• Rentals/leases for items such as copiers that do not extend into the next fiscal year should not be entered in SMART. Only rentals/leases with life beyond June 30th should be entered in SMART.
