Capital Asset Management

The Capital Asset Management module allows users to create and maintain documents related to both non-movable and movable capital assets. The Capital Asset Management (CAM) module allows you to track assets purchased through your institution's financial system, assets received as gifts, and assets that have been transferred or found. The CAM module also has capital asset builder to identify potential capital asset transactions from the Purchasing/Accounts Payable and Financial Processing modules.

This module handles records for a wide variety of both capital and non-capital assets, art and museum objects, buildings, bonds, infrastructure, land, land improvements, leasehold improvements, library books, movable equipment, etc.

CAM documents allow you to create, maintain, and retire asset records. Additionally, the system can create asset records from data collected on financial transaction documents in other modules via Capital Asset Builder (CAB). The system also provides several documents to assist your organization with inventory management and other aspects of managing assets.

Asset records may be initiated in two ways: through data collected on specific financial transaction documents and through entry on Capital Asset Management documents.
