Converting into SMART • What Is Data Conversion? • One-time load of data into the SMART system for agency systems • Transactional Data: Transactions open at cutover to the SMART system • Master Data: Data supporting transaction processing, such as Customers • How Is It Accomplished? • File Upload: Loading data sets provided in defined formats, such as flat file extracts or Excel templates, through upload processes
Converting into SMART SMART – Asset Management Asset (CNV009): Conversion of fixed asset information, including financial and physical attributes, such as original cost, categorization and description. Agencies are required to load all fixed assets with a value >$5K into SMART and are encouraged to load those with a value <$5K so that agency assets are in a single system and a more complete listing is provided for the State. Any assets, such as laptops or PDAs, can be managed and tracked in SMART.
Converting into SMART Functional Considerations • Cost: Original cost required for all assets. • In Service Date: Date asset was placed into service, impacts depreciation. • Split-funding of accounting: Asset accounting can be split over multiple funding strings. Transaction lines must be incremented properly to load accurately. • Retired Assets: Retired assets should not be converted.
Converting into SMART using the Upload Process • Upload Data Conversion Approach • Two File Format Options: • Flat file • For system-based asset data and high volumes • Tab-delimited ASCII text file • Excel-based data entry template • For spreadsheet-based or paper-based asset data • Excel data entry template
