5. City of Little Rock Fleet Services Department
Fleet Services was originally a division of the General Services Department. In 1994, Fleet Services had grown sufficiently to be established as a Department in its own right, with three (3) divisions at that time: Administration, Acquisitions and Maintenance.
Today, Fleet Services is growing by leaps and bounds, with four (4) divisions and 70 full and part time employees. Fleet Services currently provides services to 14 City Departments as well as several external customers, including the Little Rock Housing Authority, the Little Rock office of the U.S. Marshall Service, the DownTown Partnership, MEMS Ambulance Services, the City of Maumelle Police Department and the Little Rock Convention and Visitors Bureau.

6. It is the mission of the City of Little Rock Fleet Services Department to provide cost efficient, quality vehicles, work equipment, vehicle storage, fuel, and other fleet support services to our customers in a timely manner, while being responsible stewards of our natural resources and the tax dollars of the citizens of Little Rock.
It is the objective of the Fleet Services Department to continuously seek and employ means to administer the most cost efficient, safety conscious and environmentally friendly fleet operations program possible.
Our success will be confirmed in the responsible and productive use of citizens’ tax dollars. An equally premium priority for Fleet Services is to effectively meet the needs of our City Department users, ensuring their capability to provide vital services to the Little Rock community.

19. Year End Instructions Susan Banasiewicz Aasis Service Center

20. Fiscal Year-End Deadlines
All agencies must clean up purchasing documents before year-end to properly reflect their procurement spend for FY 2014 by:
Eliminating unwanted Purchase Orders (POs)
Closing open Purchase Requisitions (PRs)
Reducing open Funds Reservations
Deleting PO lines with discontinued account assignments (those carrying Cost Center, WBS Element, and/or Internal Order), which will no longer be valid in the new fiscal year
Held and Blocked POs
Held PRs
Close POs you no longer need
Close open PRs
Reduce open funds reservations
Delete PO lines which have outdated account information

21. AASIS Service Center (ASC) will carry forward open commitments where there is sufficient budget and/or appropriation in the new fiscal year to cover the commitment.
NOTE:  Agencies should be aware that POs and commitments carried forward into FY 2015 must pass a FY 2015 budget validation or they will be reversed and deleted in FY 2014 by ASC prior to the system being available for normal operations on Monday, July 7, 2014.
Purchasing documents can only be carried forward into FY15 if you have budget available.
If there is not budget enough to cover the document, your document will be reversed and deleted by ASC during the year end closeout process.

22. Exclusions from carry forward:
No held or blocked POs will be carried forward from FY 2014 to FY 2015.
No PRs will be carried forward from FY 2014 to FY 2015.
Unless they are 45 day eligible, no POs created prior to FY will be carried forward, even if line items were added in FY 2014.
POs created in FY 2014 will be carried forward only if sufficient budget and/or appropriation exists in FY 2015 to support the entire document.
Held or blocked POs cannot be carried forward
PRs will not be carried forward
POs created before FY14 will not be carried forward, even if they have had some new lines added
Only POs created in FY14, with sufficient budget and/or appropriation to cover the entire PO will be carried forward.

23. A Goods Receipt (MIGO) transaction must not be keyed unless goods or services have actually been received.
An Invoice Receipt (MIRO) transaction must not be keyed unless invoice has actually been received.
POs which require account assignment information changes (Cost Center, Internal Order, WBS Element, Asset number, and/or G/L Account)in order to close out not carry forward
Delete existing line with incorrect data
Add new line for desired account assignment
Basic rules:
You cannot create a goods receipt unless you’ve received the product.
An invoice receipt cannot be entered unless you’ve received an invoice.
Ensure your accounting information is correct. Correcting account assignment info ensures budget accuracy and avoids errors.

24. Agency Responsibilities
Clear by posting or deleting all parked, saved as complete, held or blocked documents and invoices prior to June 30, Any documents remaining in parked status on June 30, 2014 prior to the start of the final payment run will be deleted by DFA – Office of Accounting.
GR/IR items should be reviewed. Any old items should be researched and processed to completion through an invoice receipt or through the reversal of receipts (if paid in another manner), etc. This activity should be completed early in June 2014.
If you have done a Goods Receipt but paid via Direct Invoice, contact your CAFR liaison to do a separate transaction.
Document this within your PO
Agency duties
Post or delete all parked, saved as complete, held, or blocked documents and invoices before 6/30. If you neglect to clear any documents, they will be deleted.
Review GR/IR items. If you have received it, do a GR, if you have received the invoice, process it. If they should be cancelled, do so soon.
Call CAFR to complete an MR11 if you have done a GR but paid via direct invoice. Make notes in your PO.

25. POs containing assets will not be carried forward
If your Outline Agreement has a validity date later than 6/30/2014, it will show on the transparency website. If that is not correct, make your edits.
POs containing assets will not be carried forward
ASC will close any PO with assets that has only a goods receipt or has been otherwise capitalized
Any outline agreements that shows a validity date of 6/30 or greater, appears on the transparency website. It is important we ensure these dates are correct so that they only appear if they should.
POs with assets can be problematic during year end. The value cannot be changed on a capitalized asset in a follow on year. You should not carry forward these documents, but instead create a new PO for this asset for the new fiscal year.

26. End of Year calendar Monday, June 30

These are a few of the transactions which allow us to facilitate yearend processes. It is critical that we clean up the system each year. This allows us to start with a clean slate at the beginning of each fiscal year. Without your help, it would take aasis much longer to close out the fiscal year. We will close out documents in the system however, we do not have the history on each document. We generally run a program which indiscriminately closes the document without regard to circumstances. If you process your remaining documents at the end of each year, you can ensure they are processed as you desire.
