Module 1 Objectives
After completing this module, you will be able to:
Explain the key concepts of the Asset Accounting Overview course
Key Terminology
Key Term
Description
Fixed Asset
A subset of non-current assets that can be used for more than

one reporting period and is material in value.
Depreciation
The diminution in the value of an asset due to the normal wear

and tear over the life of the asset. It is calculated on a straightline basis over the period of the life that is stored in the asset
master data. This method measures the consumption of the
value of tangible assets.
Amortization
The deduction of capital expenses over an assets life. This

method measures the consumption of the value of intangible
assets. In Umoja, both depreciation and amortization are
referred to as depreciation.
Capitalization
The recording of business expenditures as assets because their

occurrences produce benefits for the business for more than a
financial year.
Useful Life
The length of time that a depreciable asset is expected to be

useable.
Key Terminology
Key Term
Description
Asset Class
A criteria for structuring fixed assets from an accounting point

of view. Every asset has to be assigned to exactly one asset
class. The asset class is used to assign the assets (and their
business transactions) to the correct G/L accounts.
Assets under
Construction
The process to account for self-constructed assets, internally

developed intangible assets and other capital projects which
are mainly of long duration and high dollar amount.
Final Asset
The point where assets are deemed available to use and

depreciation starts.
Impairment
A loss in the future economic benefits or service potential of

an asset, over and above depreciation.
Tangible Asset
An asset that has a physical form, for example machinery,

buildings or land.
Intangible Asset
An asset that is not physical in nature, for example patents,

trademarks and software.
10
Key Terminology
Key Term
Document Date
Description
The relevant document date authorizing the transaction.
Posting Date
The date when the entry will become effective.
11
Roles & Responsibilities

The following roles are involved in the Umoja Asset Accounting process:
Financial Accounting
Closing User
Responsible for the Year-End Closing process to close

the financial year at the Company Code level
Runs the fixed asset depreciation and financial
accounting revaluation (IPSAS requirement)
Responsible for the reclassification of receivables and
payables and balances the carry-forward processes on
an annual basis
Manages the Special Period documents
Runs the revaluation of Purchase Orders (POs) and
earmarked funds, as well as other closing processes in
Funds Management
12
Roles & Responsibilities

The following roles are involved in the Umoja Asset Accounting process:
Asset Accounting User
Asset Accounting
Senior User
Creates, updates and maintains the fixed asset master data

and postings and/or verifies certain acquisition transactions
Is responsible for asset disposals, asset revaluations and

asset transfers
13
Umoja Asset Accounting Review

Umoja Asset Accounting deals with the accounting
of fixed assets, which is a subset of non-current
assets.
This process is applicable to the Peacekeeping and
Special Political missions that will continue to use
Galileo to manage most fixed assets, before the
decommissioning of the Galileo system.
In the interim, Umoja will track only real estate
(including Real Estate under Construction,
excluding prefab buildings) and intangible assets.
Note: Asset Accounting always refers to the fiscal
year.
14
Umoja Asset Accounting Review

Some important points related to fixed assets are:
Fixed assets are items that can be used for
more than one reporting period and are
material in value
Fixed assets include tangible and intangible
assets
The utilization of fixed assets is spread across
various reporting periods during the useful
life of the asset
This is the process of depreciation for tangible
assets, or amortization for intangible assets
The depreciated/amortized value (Net Book
Value) is documented in the balance sheet
under Property, Plant and Equipment and
Intangible Assets
15
Asset Master Data Review

The asset master data record for each asset captures two types of data:
Asset Data
Depreciation Data
Includes general information such as

description, location, asset class and
so on
Includes depreciation-specific
information such as depreciation
terms, useful life and so on
16
Umoja Asset Class

General Ledger (G/L) Accounts
Asset Classes
Buildings
Intangibles
Assets Under
Construction
Asset Master Records
Each asset is a part of an asset class. While the IPSAS has a defined set of asset classes,
there is an expansion to these asset classes in Umoja. Each asset class:
Classifies assets into logical groups
Controls the screen layouts of the asset master and depreciation area
Provides default values to assets that are created under the corresponding asset
class
Determines the numbering ranges of assets
Determines the G/L accounts to be posted to for that class of assets

Asset Accounting: End-to-End Process

Umoja Asset Accounting encompasses the entire lifetime of a fixed asset. The end-toend Asset Accounting process is as follows:
Asset Master Data

Maintenance
Acquisition of Assets
Depreciation of
Assets
Retirement of Assets
Revision of Useful Life
Transfer of Assets
Impairment of Assets
Note: While verification of assets is a critical step in the lifetime of an asset, it is a step performed
out of Umoja. The posting will be made separately into the system as part of another step.
37
Touch Points
Touch points refer to these integration points across Umoja modules, processes and
activities.

Simulation Activities
Throughout this training, users will have the opportunity to
conduct activities in the form of simulations. Simulations
are interactive recordings of the Umoja system used to
help facilitate a hands-on learning experience. The
simulation links are provided on the corresponding activity
slides.
Users can access simulations in three different modes:
Show me: Users view a video of an entire transaction

being conducted
Lets do it together: Users will be prompted to input
data at key points during the transaction
(recommended)
Try it: Users can complete an entire transaction on
their own, with no additional instructions provided

This module will cover capitalization processes for:
Assets under
Construction (AuC)
Standalone Assets
47
Capitalization of Standalone Assets

Standalone assets are those for which no additional costs are anticipated and are
capitalized at the time of receipt. There are two ways to procure standalone assets:
Through the Material Master
This is used for tangible assets such as real estate.

Through the Service Master
This is used for all intangible assets.
The capitalization process is as follows:
Asset Master Shell

Created at Purchase Req
Capitalization at
Goods Receipt
48

Asset Master Shell
Capitalization at
Goods Receipt
For standalone assets:

The asset is procured by users in the Supply
Chain function
During the purchase requisition, the shell of
the asset master data record is created. The
selection of the items to be purchased generates
the identification of the Asset Class and G/L
account to be used for recording the asset
At this point, the asset number is generated by
the system
After the Purchase Order (PO) has been
approved, the account assignment of the asset
master record is populated based on the PO
49

Asset Master Shell
Capitalization at
Goods Receipt
The trigger for capitalization is the point where the goods or services are received:
When Goods Receipts are created by users in the Supply Chain function, the system
automatically post the accounting entries to debit the Asset G/L account that has been
referred to in the PO
When Service Entry Sheets (for service receipts) are created, the system automatically
posts the accounting entries to debit the Asset G/L account that has been referred to in
the PO. The Asset Accounting User uses the T-code AS02 to update the asset master
record with the quantity of intangibles to 1. The quantity needs to be updated
because it is pre-populated with 0 when the user receives intangibles through the
service master. In addition, the user confirms that the useful life is accurate
The corresponding accounting entries appears as follows:
Debit (+)
Credit (-)
Asset

Capitalization of Assets under Construction

The process to capitalize Assets under Construction (AuC) is as follows. This process
involves both the Asset Accounting User and Senior Asset Accounting User:

Reconcile Expenses
When a decision has been made to create an asset which will be built in house, the Asset
Accounting User submits a request to create a new Internal Order for the project.
The Internal Order is used to collect service and material costs directly procured for the
project.
Note: The value of Asset under Construction will be arrived at using the replacement cost
methodology.
52

Create Internal

In PK missions, items may be issued from

Galileo towards the AuC. These will be
captured in a spreadsheet outside of Umoja.
At the end of the year, the Asset Accounting
Senior User reconciles the amount captured
on the external spreadsheet against:
Costs captured on the Internal Order
All items supplied from Galileo inventory
and other labor costs
56

Assess Percentage

Create AuC
Record Final Asset
At the end of the year, the Technical Experts will assess the
percentage completion of the asset.
Using calculations and standards from the Depreciated
Replacement Cost Methodology, the AuC is valuated and the
Asset Accounting Senior User makes a direct entry into Umoja to
an AuC G/L account (non-budget consuming account).
At this time there will be no entry recorded in the Fixed Asset
ledger.

Capitalization of Assets
There are exceptional cases where a mission may contract out the construction of building to
be completed within a year.
In this case, the above procedure is followed with the exception that the FV50 step is not
needed. Instead, the Asset Accounting User uses the T-code F-90 to:
71999090
72199090
74999090
77299090
79989090

Accounts
SB Capital Cost to Asset under Construction

Official Travel Capital Cost to Asset Construction
Operating Expense Capital Cost Asset Construction
Consum Capital Cost to Asset under Construction
Other Exp Capital Cost to Asset under Construction
70
Capitalization: Grant-Related
For grants projects that generate assets, a separate internal order will not be created. The
WBSE that's linked to the grant will be used to capture costs.
The steps are exactly the same as previously, except in place of an Internal Order the WBSE
will be used. In addition, the Asset Accounting Senior User uses the T-code CJ88 to settle the
WBSE to the responsible cost center.
71
72
In some cases, a mission may receive an in-kind donation of an asset that is not budgeted. A
manual entry is used to debit the asset and credit revenue without consuming budget or
cash. No Grant will be used for this solution. After capitalizing the fixed asset, the Facilities
Planner in Real Estate will create the corresponding Real Estate objects and link the fixed
asset.

Standalone assets are capitalized at the time of receipt
For assets under construction, an Internal Order is created to track costs incurred
in Umoja. A separate spreadsheet maintained outside the system is used to track
the full cost of the AuC
Using calculations and standards from the Depreciated Replacement Cost
Methodology, the AuC is valuated and a direct entry is made into Umoja to an AuC
G/L account
After asset under construction is completed, it is recognized as a final asset and
capitalized
Asset master record is created in the Asset ledger

checks that a prior-month depreciation run has been posted
before allowing the user to post a current-month
depreciation.
For example, processing of the depreciation run for the
month of October can only take place after all depreciation
postings/runs up to September are successfully completed.

Impairment of Fixed Asset Review

According to IPSAS, ongoing impairment reviews will occur when there is an event
which can reduce the value of the asset compared to the book value. Impairment could
be noted during the Asset verification exercise.
An Accident or Natural Disaster
An Asset Verification Exercise
Per UN policy, an annual impairment review will be performed on all individual items of
Plant, Property and Equipment (PPE) over USD 100,000.
111
Impairment of Fixed Asset Review

Once the impairment values are accounted for and/or useful lives are changed
to new estimated values, the remaining NBV is depreciated over the remaining
useful lives.
The following accounting entry for Impairment is recorded in the General Ledger during
the monthly depreciation run:

When an asset has been impaired, the Asset Accounting Senior User is informed to record it
in the asset master record.
In Umoja impairment is considered as an Unplanned Depreciation. Thus the screens in this

section contain Unplanned Depreciation in the header.
Within the Unplanned Depreciation screen, Transaction Types called Special Depreciation
indicate impairment. Thus on the Asset Explorer screen, the user will find the impairment
values in the Special Depreciation line.
Transaction type 620 and 630 are used to record impairment. Transaction 620 relates to assets acquired
in previous calendar year while 630 relates to asset acquired in current calendar year. For example, If an
asset acquired in December 2013 is impaired in January 2014, transaction 620 will be used even though
both December 2013 and January 2014 fall in PK fiscal year.

Retirement of Fixed Assets

The Asset Retirement process involves the
sale, donation or scrapping of a fixed asset.
Some of the key points are as follows:
After the asset has been approved for
retirement, a notification is sent to the
Asset Accounting Senior User
Once notified, the Asset Accounting
Senior User identifies the asset that
needs to be retired in the Accounting
system, the portion of the asset (if partial
disposal) and the effective date of the
transaction (sale, donation or scrapping)
129
Retirement of Fixed Assets

Sale: If the retirement is through sale to a
customer (whether on a profit or loss) it is
performed through the Standard Order
process in the Sales and Distribution
module and manually entered in the Fixed
Asset module.
Donation/Scrapping: When assets are being
donated or scrapped, the transaction is
manually entered in the Fixed Asset module
and the system calculates the losses and
posts these entries automatically in the
G/L.
Note: In the interim, Umoja will track only real estate (including Real Estate under
Construction, excluding prefab buildings) and intangible assets.

Retire Fixed Asset by Scrapping or Donation

If the asset retirement is through scrapping of the fixed asset (retirement at NBV), the
entire NBV as on the date of the scrapping is recognized as a loss.
An example of the accounting entry for the Asset donation for an asset which cost
$100 and with a NBV of $8 would be as follows:
Debit (+)
Loss on Asset Scrapping
$8.00
Accumulated Depreciation
$92.00
Credit (-)
$100.00
Asset Cost
132

If the asset retirement is through donation to another UN agency, a host country or
other donation recipient, the accounting entries are similar to the scrapping of a fixed
asset at NBV, save for the G/L accounts which will be different.
An example of the accounting entry in the Fixed Asset module for the asset donation for
an asset which costs $100 and with a NBV of $92 would appear as follows:

Retire Fixed Asset by Sale

If the retirement is a sale with a profit or loss, the asset sale would be performed
through the Standard Order process in the Sales and Distribution module.
In the transactional screen in Umoja, the Sales Processor enters the amount of
consideration that will be received on the sale of the asset. The system then posts the
debit to the customer account (receivable). The entry is balanced to default suspense
account (69101020), as the Sales and Distribution module cannot directly access the
individual records of the Fixed Asset module.
As shown below, the accounting entry is balanced to default the suspense account, as
the Sales and Distribution module cannot directly access the individual records of the
Fixed Asset module.
Debit (+)
Customer
Credit (-)
$5.00
Fixed Asset Sale

Suspense (Balance Sheet)
$5.00
142

Subsequently, the Asset Accounting Senior User records the reduction of the assets
against the suspense account (69101020). The system automatically calculates the
gains/losses.
Accordingly, the accounting entry (net effect) for an asset, which costs $100 and with
a NBV of $8 and sold for $5 would be as follows:
Debit (+)
Fixed Asset Sale Suspense
(Balance Sheet)
$5.00
$92.00
Loss on Sale (Retirement)
$3.00
Credit (-)
$100.00

If the asset was sold for $15, then a credit entry (Gain of $7) would be posted instead of
a loss.

Transfer Fixed Assets

The Asset Transfer process involves physical movement of fixed assets, or the
transfer of ownership for real estate and intangible assets. In UN, transfer of
assets involves the following scenarios:
Transfer of assets from one mission to another mission
Transfer of assets between grants
Transfer of assets between Peacekeeping and Regular Budget Projects
Asset Accounting Senior User

notification on
completion of a
transfer
Identifies assets
that have been

156
Accounting Entries
Accounting documents are created when the transfer crosses funds, business areas,
segments or grants. For transfers across funds, business areas, segments or grants, a
Financial Accounting posting will be automatically created to record the transfer at NBV
only. The receiving fund is charged any future depreciation expense. The accounting
entries for the transfer of assets would appear as follows:
An example of accounting entry in the transferors books:
Debit (+)
Transfer between funds fixed assets out (Expense)
