40.40.30.1 Capital Asset Categories

Since Asset Categories are global in ctcLink, they are created under the WACTC Set ID. Several asset classes are required to be tracked but should not be depreciated.

ALL capital assets acquired with Certificates of Participation MUST be capitalized and may fall within one or more Asset Classes listed below.

  1. OFM has established a threshold of $500,000 for the State of Washington. However, each college district should establish its own threshold based upon materiality for its independent financial statements as directed by the State Auditors.

To view a current list of asset categories run the CTC_AM_CATEGORY query in FSCM. The query also indicates the following whether the asset is tangible (Y/N), depreciable (D/N) and if it is a leased (Y/N).

With appropriate permissions in ctcLink the AM Category list may also be viewed by navigating to Navigator > Set Up Financials/Supply Chain > Product Related > Asset Management > Financials > Categories.
