Business Process Overview
The Set Up and Maintain Asset Controls business process is within the Asset Accounting and Management (AAM) business process grouping. AAM includes a collection of business processes that:
- Manage the records of agency property that supports Statewide operations, including financial and custodial information;
- Establish the controls that ensure the integrity of statewide financial reporting; and
- Perform month-end and year-end closing activities.
This business process addresses the controls to standardize and manage system configuration. Configuration control changes are administered at the State or agency level based on policy, with considerations for the desired level of standardization, ease of maintenance, and impact. Configuration controls include asset templates, relational trees, and asset base configurations. Examples include changes to the capitalization threshold, new or revised asset categories, and new or revised locations.
Dependencies and Constraints
Dependencies and Constraints describe any conditions or criteria that impact how or when the business process should be executed. These could be set within Florida PALM or from external sources (i.e., Law or Rule).

Business Roles
The Business Process Flow Diagrams use horizontal swim lanes to depict where activities are performed by different parties or systems. Each swim lane is titled with a role, either agency-based or within DFS, and in some cases, are representative of an external entity or system. The swim lanes may change from page to page within a single business subprocess as more or fewer roles are required to execute sections of the business subprocess.
- Agency AM Asset Administrator: role responsible for updating and maintaining Asset Management configuration values
- DFS AM Asset Administrator: role responsible for updating and maintaining Asset Management configuration values
Business Process Flows Details
The tables below describe steps in each business subprocess as reflected on the Business Process Flow Diagrams. The tables also reflect information associated with each step describing the intent of the specific process. Florida PALM screenshots are included within the sections to allow connections to be made from specific business subprocess steps to screens within Florida PALM. This information should be read in conjunction with the Business Process Flow Diagrams.
Process Step ID | Process Step Title | Description of Process |
---|---|---|
1 | Receive Record Add/ Update Request | The DFS AM Asset Administrator receives requests from DFS or agency personnel. Requests must be addressed immediately, because the control is usually needed to facilitate recording of time sensitive or pending transactions. DFS designates administrators so that requests for asset control additions and updates can be managed and executed timely, and efficiently. The DFS AM Asset Administrator must determine if the request relates to Statewide (administered by DFS) or Agency level (administered by Agency) controls. Requests administered by DFS are created as templates or configuration items that:
Affect Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) reporting. |
2 | Send Request | Requests that are not administered by DFS are sent to the Agency AM Asset Administrator. |
3 | Execute Request | The DFS AM Asset Administrator executes requests that are administered at the State level (e.g., Asset Profile and asset category). |
4 | Notify Requester | The DFS AM Asset Administrator notifies the requester when additions or updates are completed. |
5 | Receive Record Add/ Update Request | The Agency AM Asset Administrator receives requests for asset control configuration from agency personnel and/or DFS Asset Administrator.

Agencies designate administrators so that requests for asset control additions and updates can be managed and executed timely and efficiently. The Agency AM Asset Administrator must determine if the request relates to Statewide (administered by DFS) or Agency level (administered by Agency) controls. Requests administrated by the agency:
Does not affect Annual Comprehensive Financial Report reporting. |
6 | Send Request | Requests received that are not administered at the agency level are sent to the DFS AM Asset Administrator. |
7 | Execute Request | The Agency AM Asset Administrator executes requests administered at an agency level (e.g., location, and region code). |
8 | Notify Requester | The Agency AM Asset Administrator notifies the requester when additions or updates are completed. |
Accounting Events
Accounting events originate during transaction processing in the applicable source module. The accounting events impact the source module, Commitment Control Ledgers, and the General ledger (Actuals).
- Source Module accounting entries require user input (I) of the primary line (i.e., expenditure, revenues) with an automated (A) system offsetting line (i.e., payable, receivable) during transaction entry. The source model transaction must pass Edit Check, Budget Check, and Cash Check (on applicable entries) prior to posting the transaction.
- The Run Budget Check (Commitment Control) process automatically affects balances in the appropriate budget ledger (i.e., appropriation, spendable cash) if the transaction passes the budget check process.
- After the transaction is posted in the source module, an automated system process summarizes and posts the entries in the General Ledger module to the Actuals Ledger.
The table below provides the most common accounting events applicable to this business process.
