KFS Capital Asset Management

What Asset Types are handled in CAMS? And how are they added?

KFS Purchasing and Accounts Payable

Is there a receiving module?

Not now, but this is an essential enhancement identified by the AP/Purchasing Subject Matter Experts team, so it will be a part of KFS.

Is the accounting line forced on the requisition?

What if the user doesn't know it? There is a workflow level for this purpose, so that if a Requisitioner doesn't know the accounting information, the Req is routed to a workgroup who can add that information.

Can a buyer be assigned by the system based upon certain parameters?

KFS Accounts Receivable

 

We don't have a lockbox system - can we still use the AR module?

Yes. The AR module can handle both payments received via lockbox and those received directly in the Bursar or deposited in the bank.

What functionality will the AR system provide?

Accounting entries are system generated

Handles Non-Student Receivables - Billing to external customers by departments, includes aging reports

Optionally, handles payments received via lockbox

 

KFS General Ledger

Can you process the current and old fiscal year and year-end?

Yes. At year-end we activate a special set of "Year-End" e-docs. These documents continue to post to period 12 and 13 (June and Closing for us) of the old fiscal year, while the normal set of e-docs post to the new fiscal year. In essence we have two sets of books open simultaneously. We also take snapshots of key account and organization information at June 30 for year-end reporting purposes.

Can we view pending items?
