Find Assets Using Online Inquiry​

FAS online inquires allow you to view posted FAS records and make some changes to them. Disposed assets will be viewable in the FAS Property Maintenance/Inquiry screen for three years (prior to the current fiscal year). Three years after disposition, they will be purged from FAS during Fiscal Year End processing. FAS assets can also be found in IBIS.

Open the Online Inquiry Screens

To make FAS inquiries, you must have proper security access. If you need access to the FAS Online Inquiry, contact your agency's STARS system administrator.

The FAS Main Menu example below illustrates the various Inquiry screens available under the INQUIRY section. Some are also available under the MAINTENANCE/INQUIRY section.

To open an inquiry screen, enter the two-character screen number in the FUNCTION field and press ENTER. For example, type 40 in the FUNCTION field and press ENTER to open the PROPERTY MAINT/INQUIRY screen.

Enter Period of Time Indicators

Screen S040 Property Maintenance/Inquiry Screen can inquire on cumulative financial amounts, or inquire by a specific period of time. The period of time indicators are:

  • CM - Current Month (amounts presented are through the current date)
  • PM - Prior Month (amounts presented are through the end of the previous month)
  • CP - Current Period (amounts presented are through the current date for the current fiscal   quarter)
  • PP - Prior Period (amounts presented are through the end of the previous fiscal quarter)
  • PY - Prior Year (amounts presented are through the end of the prior fiscal year)

Enter Cumulative or Activity Indicators

In addition to identifying the period of time, you can view financial amounts on an activity basis or on a cumulative basis. The indicators are:

  • CUM - Cumulative (amounts are inception-to-date, since the property was established in FAS)
  • ACTV - Activity (amounts presented are activity for the requested period of time only)

    The following examples illustrate how the selection of a period of time and the selection of cumulative or activity affect the presentation of the amount:
     
  • CM & CUM - The amounts presented are the inception-to-date amounts through the current month.
  • CM & ACTV - The only amounts presented are for the activity for the current month. If no    activity has occurred during the current month, zero values are shown.
  • PM & CUM - The amounts are the inception-to-date amounts through the end of the prior month.
  • PM & ACTV - The amounts presented are only for the activity for the prior month. If no   activity occurred during the prior month, zero values are displayed 

    NOTE:  When you first access any inquiry screen, the default period of time is CM (the current month) and CUM (cumulative), reflecting cumulative amounts through the current date
