Completion & Identification of a Fabrication
 

A fabrication is considered complete when initially placed in operation specifically the first time it is used in the performance of the task/test for which it was designed. Upon completion of a fabrication, the DPA shall provide a Fabrication Completion Verification Request Form to the Property Management Office (PMO).



Each completed fabrication is “capitalized” in Oracle GA, and a property record, using the assigned SU ID barcode number, is created in Sunflower Assets (SFA) by the PMO. Notification that the property record has been created is provided to the Department Property Administrator (DPA) who subsequently is responsible for the ongoing update and completeness of the record. Ancillary items or easily removed components, if taggable, should have a fabrication tag applied with the FAB number, the PO and the line item number on the PO.

Ongoing maintenance or repair are not included as part of the acquisition cost of the fabrication. In some cases, the sponsor may approve maintenance or repair as an allowable direct charge to the project. Should this be the case, it is still excluded from the acquisition cost of the fabrication. Upon completion of the fabrication, project personnel should identify any residual material for potential reassignment to another fabrication or declare it as excess for final disposition.

Modifications to Completed Fabrications

Once a fabrication becomes a capitalized asset, enhancements and modifications are considered upgrades and will be identified separately in the GA system by a new ProjectTaskAward (PTA) combination.

The completed modification is tagged with an SU.ID barcode, recorded as an asset, or if applicable, associated with the original fabrication as a child asset.
