Contents of the Manage Asset Government Information Screen
Use the fields and options to configure the Manage Asset Government Information Screen.
With this screen option, users do not automatically have access to data fields in other Asset Master subtasks; such access rights must be granted by the system administrator for each tab or subtask on a screen-by-screen basis.
- If screen rights allow you access to the Manage Asset Master Information screen, then that screen and all its tabs and subtasks are automatically accessible to you.
- If you do not have access rights to the Manage Asset Master Information screen, the system administrator can alternately grant or deny rights using the direct menu option (via the Asset Master Records menu) on a screen-by-screen basis. In this manner, each user can only access the permissible subtasks or tabs in an Asset Master record.
When you first bring up this screen, a screen prompts you to enter a search criteria.
Although the data displays in columnar form in the table window on this screen, data entry functionality and data rules for each column are identical to those for each corresponding field in the Govt Info tab of the Manage Asset Master Information screen, regardless of which entry screen methodology you establish for each user. You can also use the Form view option for this screen.
On this screen, unlike maintenance table windows throughout Costpoint, the line functions in the menu bar (Execute, New Record, Clone Record, Delete and Undelete) are disabled.
You cannot use this screen to add new asset records. You can enter additional optional data, change existing data, or delete existing data within the system rules already established for an Asset Master record that was originally added using the Manage Asset Master Information screen.
There are no required fields on this screen. Use the columns on this screen to record or change government (or other information) for four standard fields and 15 user-defined fields for both new property records and to initialize your historical property records.
Although you can enter and change the information in this screen at any time, use caution in the timing of your data entry or edits, which may affect the types of records included in system reports.

| Record Status |
This non-editable column displays the record status assigned to this record when the asset was saved or edited on the Manage Asset Master Information screen or on the Manage Asset Description Information screen. The options available for this display-only column are Active, Inactive, or Disposal. The system default is Active. A record must be Active to be eligible for depreciation calculations. If you specify that a record is Inactive, the system will skip over this record for depreciation calculations and for reports that do not specify the inclusion of inactive records. If a record has been disposed, Disposal displays in this column and your ability to change disposal data is limited. |
| Depr/Lease Status |
This non-editable column displays the system-required depreciation status assigned to this record. Data displayed in this column may have been edited on the Manage Asset Master Information screen or on the Manage Asset Description Information screen. The possible display options for this column are Capitalize,Depreciable , and Non-Depreciable. The system default is Depreciable. A record must be Depreciable to be eligible for depreciation calculations. If a record is Depreciable, additional data will be required by the system, including a valid depreciation method and codes for valid G/L depreciation expense and accumulated depreciation account combinations. If a record is Non-Depreciable, you cannot access data on the Manage Asset General Ledger Book Information and the Manage Asset Other Books Information screens for those records. Note: In many standard system reports, you can specify whether non-depreciable assets should be included among the selected records.

You can, however, enter only valid data from the EMPL table in this column. If you need to enter asset data for custodians that are not employees (or if you do not want to use this column), you can use the other user-defined "government" columns on this screen and/or the user-defined columns in the User-Defined Info subtask of the Manage Asset Master Information screen (or the Manage Asset User-Defined Information screen). |
