1. INTRODUCTION

1.1. Agency Implementation Guide (Guide)


The Realization Phase of the LaGov project is designed to accommodate both the shared
and specific needs of agencies in order to achieve a successful ERP implementation.
Each Agency Implementation Lead (AIL) will be involved in all agency specific aspects
of migrating to the new ERP system. The Guide will be used throughout the processes
involved in implementation.

The Guide provides you with an overall view of your agency’s upcoming implementation
activities, key ERP project organization information, and a conceptual non-technical view
of the ERP system from a business function standpoint, and detailed step-by-step
instructions about how to lead your agency through each part of the ERP implementation.
It also provides you with information about how to use and maintain the Guide, what
types of information will be available in subsequent releases, and where you can find
additional supporting information on the LaGov website.

1.1.1. Purpose of the Guide


The Agency Implementation Guide is designed to be your roadmap for the ERP
implementation. The Guide contains background information on each stage of
implementation, as well as checklists with the required tasks for completion of each
stage. The Guide is a working document and will be added to and changed over time.
This release, Release One, contains the information that you need to get started on
implementation at your agency. You may notice that some of the sections in Release One
contain no materials. At a later date, additional releases of the Guide will be distributed.
These releases will complete the missing sections and supply revisions and updates to
applicable sections of the guide.

1.1.2. Role of the Guide in the Agency Implementation


The Guide will be the central repository for LaGov implementation information. It will
direct you to sources of information and contacts necessary to make informed decisions.
Many decisions about how a department/agency will carry out implementation need to be
made at the agency level. The Guide provides checklists and tasks that you will need to
address specifically for your agency.

1.1.3. How to Use the Guide


The Guide is organized to lead the agency through implementation. As mentioned
previously, it is a working document and will change over time. Updating the Guide with
current and new materials will be an important part of ensuring accuracy and consistency
across agencies.

State of Louisiana LaGov ERP Project 03-03-2009 version 1.0 Section 1 - page 4
Each separate tab within the guide contains information about different elements of
implementation. There are also appendix tabs that keep all the implementation checklists
and forms together. Keep any other documents related to implementation at the back of
the guide. A copy of the Guide, checklists, and forms is on the LaGov website at:
http://www.doa.louisiana.gov/ERP/index.htm

1.1.4. Maintaining the Guide


As updates and new releases to the Guide are made available on the LaGov website, you
should print the applicable sections and insert them in the appropriate tab of your Guide.
If the new material is a replacement for existing content, please remove and discard the
old material. Instructions for replacing and inserting updates will be provided with each
release. New releases will be made available on the LaGov website. When each new
release is available, a notification will be sent to the AIL via listserv.

1.1.5. Key Dates


Meeting implementation deadlines will be critical to the success of the project. Since
project deadlines are all inter-linked, it will be important to regularly check for changes
to project dates. A “Key Dates” document will be maintained on the LaGov website for
this purpose. You should visit this site often to ensure your deadlines are up to date:
http://www.doa.louisiana.gov/ERP/index.htm

1.1.6. Relationship of Guide to Other Documentation


The Guide is one of many project documents. Some sections of the Guide will refer you
to other project documents, which will be placed for your reference, on the LaGov
website at: http://www.doa.louisiana.gov/ERP/index.htm

1.2. Project Definitions and Terminology


In order to ensure clear communication and consistency across all agencies throughout
implementation, it will be important to use a common vocabulary when referring to
aspects of the project. Throughout this Guide, there is terminology that may not be
understood by all readers, or may have a different or more specific connotation to the
reader than to the authors. Section 12 of the Guide contains a Glossary that provides the
project definitions of functional and technical terms to help clarify their exact meaning.
In addition the Glossary contains various general terms associated with the project. As
new sections of the Guide are added, the Glossary will be revised. The Glossary is
intended to be a dynamic and fluid document that will be updated on a regular basis.

2. LAGOV PROJECT OVERVIEW

2.1. Introduction
During the Business Blueprint phase of the LaGov project, the business goals of the
participating State agencies were validated and the business processes to support these
goals were defined through business process definition workshops. The key deliverable
and end result of this phase is the detailed Business Blueprint for the State of Louisiana
that communicates a common understanding of the solution business requirements and
how they will be met within the SAP and AgileAssets software solutions.
The SAP and AgileAssets systems contain many features and functions and provide a
functionally rich solution for the State of Louisiana.
The Business Blueprint outlined how the State intends to conduct daily business
operations within the SAP and AgileAssets systems and provides a conceptual master
plan and business process requirements that must be achieved during the Realization
Phase. Potential organizational impacts that will result from the implementation of these
business process requirements were also captured so that the State can begin to develop
the required plans to address the organizational changes that will occur.

The Business Blueprint confirmed the scope of the project and is the key input into the
next phase, project Realization. During this phase, the LaGov project team will use the
business process requirements outlined in the Business Blueprint as the basis for the
design and development of the SAP and AgileAssets systems. During this phase of
design, development, and testing, additional details will be uncovered which may alter,
enhance, and expand upon the business process requirements captured in the Business
Blueprint phase of the project. These changes will be processed and realized through a
formal addendum process to ensure that the scope of work remains consistent with
development efforts.

2.1.1. LaGov Project Charter


The Project Charter establishes the foundation for the LaGov ERP project by defining its
dimensions and completion criteria. The purpose of the Business Blueprint for the
LaGov project is to document the business process requirements for the State of
Louisiana in support of the following project charter dimensions.

2.1.2. Mission Statement


To successfully implement an enterprise administrative solution for the State of
Louisiana to demonstrably improve administrative business performance and reporting.

State of Louisiana LaGov ERP Project 03-03-2009 version 1.0 Section 2 - page 5
2.1.3. Business Drivers
ƒ Public and executive demand for government transparency
ƒ Fragmented data and processes in existing State administrative systems
ƒ Obsolete and unsupported technology across mission critical administrative systems
ƒ Risk to accounting and federal billing operations at the Department of Transportation
and Development due to archaic and unreliable business systems

2.1.4. Performance Measures


ƒ On time implementation
ƒ Project delivered within budget
ƒ Project delivers planned scope of functionality
ƒ Stable operations achieved at each implementation point
ƒ Implemented software causes no major operational disruptions or adverse impacts

2.1.5. Goals
ƒ Successfully migrate the State’s administrative data and operations to a robust,
vendor-supported and upgradeable software solution.
ƒ Establish a statewide administrative data warehouse that seamlessly integrates the
State’s central business data includes: budget, accounting, procurement, asset
management, human resources and payroll data.
ƒ Demonstrably improve reporting and transparency.
ƒ Improve tracking and reporting of roads, bridges and other linear assets for the State
of Louisiana.

2.1.6. Guiding Principles


ƒ The project will be business-driven and will constructively engage State business
stakeholders throughout the project.
ƒ All project activities, plans and decisions will be made for the best, long-term
interests of the Louisiana State Government.
ƒ Getting the State agencies ready for the software is as important as getting the
software ready for the State agencies.
ƒ Project Management and Steering Committee members will quickly make decisions
and resolve issues.
ƒ Effective communication between project management, project executives, project
team members, and involved stakeholders is essential for project success.
ƒ The project will strive to implement a maintainable system by limiting customization
and site-specific code that might impede later upgrades or downstream maintenance.
ƒ Our aim is to deliver the original project scope. We will ‘say no’ to scope expansions
which threaten successful delivery of the project
ƒ The project will minimize the use of temporary software

2.2. LaGov Scope Description
This document updates the scope as determined during the Blueprint Phase and is
documented using the Ascendant methodology and Solution Manager Toolset. We have
identified and confirmed all conversions, interfaces, and enhancements during blueprint.
Workflow requirements were also discussed and defined as part of the business process
work sessions. Topics designated as "business processes" were addressed in the blueprint
workshops.

In its final version (after approvals and prior to any revisions,) this document largely
reiterates the scope section of the Statement of Work (SOW). The changes incorporated
here add detail where available and further clarify other sections where possible. The
benefit of reiterating the scope in this document is that the team now will have a single
working document, with its own change and approval history.

2.3. Finance
Financial processes across the target areas of the organization will be standardized and
integrated in order to provide for efficient transaction processing. The goal is to provide
more time for value-added analysis and decision support.

We understand that The State of Louisiana is one business entity. Additional legal
entities (such as component units, which will require minimal presence in SAP,) will be
represented appropriately in the account code structure to provide for integrated fund
financials as required. We presume that there will be one financial system of record with
a consolidated chart of accounts and a single fiscal year.

State of Louisiana LaGov ERP Project 03-03-2009 version 1.0 Section 2 - page 11
2.3.1. General Ledger (GL)
The General Ledger is part of the SAP Financial Accounting Module (FI). The general
ledger functionality includes revenue, expense, and balance sheet classifications, as well
as the first level of organizational breakdown, business area. The general ledger must be
carefully designed to meet the financial statement reporting requirements and ensure the
reconciliation with cost accounting (CO) and budgetary accounting (FM).

Using the Split Processor, all postings are split and balanced for posting in the General
Ledger. Splitting and balancing functionality enables the automation of full balance
sheet reporting on the dimensions of business area, fund, and grant. The general ledger
provides the necessary functionality to comply with GASB statements consisting of
support of full accrual and modified accrual accounting. External reporting requirements,
including those required for CAFR preparation, are facilitated by the general ledger
design.

2.3.7. Asset Accounting (AA)
Asset Accounting manages the financial lifecycle of a capital asset, from acquisition to
retirement, including general information and financial valuation. This includes ‘during
life’ events such as depreciation, physical inventory finding updates and transfers. Asset
Accounting facilitates the management of asset classifications and reporting.

The State will use corresponding PM Notification Records to manage the


location/custodian tracking, inventory tag number assignment, physical inventory taking
for tracking both capital assets and other controlled, but non-capital items. PM
Equipment Master Records will be used for equipment and vehicle maintenance
purposes.

2.5. System Development Scope

2.5.1. Custom Reports & Forms


Custom reports and forms refer to reports and forms developed using the ABAP
development environment to meet State of Louisiana specific requirements. From a
scope point of view, it is currently anticipated that the majority of reporting and form
requirements will be met using standard SAP functionality for all components of this
project.

The identification and definition of the custom reports to be developed for the project will
be finalized during the Realization phase of the project. Preliminary identification of
reporting requirements know to date is documented in the PDD’s. Once custom reports
are defined, evaluation as to whether they are developed in BI or ABAP code is
conducted.

2.5.2. Conversions and Interfaces


The strategy with respect to conversions is to convert only that data that is required for
ongoing operation in the new system. This means that “data cleansing” will be
performed so that only relevant data is converted. See PDD’s and associated technical
DD’s for identified conversion and interface objects.

2.5.3. Enhancements
Enhancements refer to additional system functionality developed using the ABAP
programming language. Enhancements activate special logic utilizing User Exits, new
transaction screens, and custom database tables and access logic. Enhancements do NOT
consist of updates or changes to the SAP source code. The intended goal for the project
is to implement the software “off the shelf,” and adopt the business practices contained in
the SAP software with minimal enhancements. See PDD’s and associated technical
DD’s for identified conversion and interface objects.

3. LAGOV ERP PROJECT ORGANIZATION

3.1. Project Governance Structure


This section of the Guide contains the organizational structure of the LaGov ERP
Project, responsibilities of the project teams, responsibilities of the agency
implementation teams, and information about project communications.

3.2. LaGov Project Organizational Chart


Figure 3.1, on the following page, illustrates a broad overview of the LaGov ERP
Project organization. This will be further defined in sections following.

Figure 3.1. LaGov ERP Project Organizational Chart

State of Louisiana LaGov ERP Project 03-03-2009 version 1.0 Section 3 - page 4
3.3. LaGov Project Management Office
The Project Management Office (PMO) responsibility is to provide overall
direction and management of the Project. Figure 3.2. illustrates those areas that
comprise the PMO.

Figure 3.2. LaGov ERP Project Management Office

State of Louisiana LaGov ERP Project 03-03-2009 version 1.0 Section 3 - page 5
3.4. LaGov Project Functional Teams
The LaGov Project Functional Teams were responsible for facilitating the Business
Blueprint Sessions in which future business processes were defined. These work
sessions included key employees from each agency who met to discuss how SAP
could enhance their current business processes. The goal of these sessions was to
develop agency-wide, efficient, streamlined business work processes that support
the Governor’s platform of accountability and transparency. The new SAP system
is designed from the validated decisions that came out of the Business Blueprint
Sessions.

The SAP system is configured during the Realization Phase. Using the business
requirements that were defined in Blueprint, the Functional Teams configure the
system to the agencies’ specifications. SAP is an enterprise-wide system, so it was
important for all agencies to come to a consensus on processes during the Blueprint
Sessions so the system can be designed with as little customization as possible.

Figure 3.3. illustrates the teams that comprise the LaGov Project Functional Teams.

State of Louisiana LaGov ERP Project 03-03-2009 version 1.0 Section 3 - page 6
3.5. LaGov Project Agency Readiness Team
The LaGov Agency Readiness Team is responsible for:
• providing key support and assistance to the Agency Implementation Teams
in managing all agency readiness and implementation activities.
• assisting the agencies with transition to an on-going support model at the
agency level.

Figure 3.4. LaGov Agency Readiness Team

State of Louisiana LaGov ERP Project 03-03-2009 version 1.0 Section 3 - page 7
3.6. LaGov Agency Implementation Teams
The Agency Implementation Teams are responsible for coordinating the
implementation of the LaGov ERP System within their agencies. The primary
contact within Agency Implementation TEAM is the Agency Implementation
LEAD (AIL), who will direct their agency’s resources in performing all agency
readiness and implementation tasks toward the full implementation of the LaGov
System. Agency contact information for each agency may be found on the LaGov
website at: http://www.doa.louisiana.gov/ERP/readiness.htm

Figure 3.5. below shows the recommended organization of an Agency


Implementation Team. This structure is intended to indicate areas of responsibility
and function, and does not necessarily dictate this specific team structure. It should
be noted, however, that coordination and facilitation of each readiness and
implementation function is a responsibility of the Agency Implementation Team.

Figure 3.5. Agency Implementation Team Functions

State of Louisiana LaGov ERP Project 03-03-2009 version 1.0 Section 3 - page 8
3.6.1. Agency Implementation Lead
The focal point for implementation activities within your agency is the Agency
Implementation Lead (AIL). This individual’s responsibility is to work with
his/her agency implementation team to implement the LaGov System. Figure 3.6.
illustrates possible functional positions that may be assigned within an Agency
Implementation Team.

Figure 3.6. Agency Implementation Team Positions

It is the responsibility of each Agency Implementation Team to decide how best to


work together to meet the successful objectives of project implementation. This
will allow each team to use whatever arrangement of meetings, phone calls,
briefings, informal discussions, etc. works best for their agency’s needs. In order to
maintain an organized environment for the AIL, we expect all LaGov agency
implementation decisions, activities, and reporting coming from the LaGov Agency
Implementation Team to flow through and/or be coordinated by the AIL.
Similarly, all relevant agency information that the LaGov Project Team needs to
implement the system will flow through and/or be coordinated by the AIL.

State of Louisiana LaGov ERP Project 03-03-2009 version 1.0 Section 3 - page 9
3.7. LaGov Project Communications
The LaGov Agency Readiness Team has developed an integrated comprehensive
stakeholder communication strategy for the LaGov Project. The strategy includes a
complement of activities designed to inform stakeholders of the Project’s progress,
milestones and future events in preparation for project implementation. The
communication strategy will drive consistent and reliable messages that encourage
full participation and feedback throughout the process.

3.7.1. LaGov Project Agency Readiness Team


The LaGov Project Agency Readiness Team will utilize the following as their
primary forms of communication with the Agency Implementation Leads.

ƒ Microsoft Outlook is the Division of Administration standard medium for


document distribution. The goal of using this method is to distribute
information quickly and to save paper.

ƒ LaGov Listserv (Electronic Notification) will be another means of


communication to the Agency’s Single Point of Contact, Agency
Implementation Lead and any other interested employees. This service will
include LaGov announcements, project updates, training notifications and other
key project events. Any agency employee can subscribe to this service by
visiting the LaGov website at:
http://www.doa.louisiana.gov/ERP/ElectronicNotifications.htm

ƒ LaGov Website contains core information about the LaGov Project, its history,
current activities, resources, newsletters and feedback opportunities are
provided on the LaGov website which can be found at:
http://www.doa.louisiana.gov/ERP/index.htm

This information is designed to inform all stakeholders of the Projects progress,


milestones and future events in preparation for System implementation and to
encourage full participation and feedback.

3.7.2. Agency Communication Lead


To ensure that the agencies and critical stakeholders receive necessary LaGov
Project communications, it is strongly recommended that each Agency
Implementation Team include a Communication Lead.

ƒ The Agency’s Communication Lead will be responsible for ensuring


communication within the agency regarding the LaGov Project, as well as
encouraging two-way interaction between the agency and the LaGov Project
Team.

State of Louisiana LaGov ERP Project 03-03-2009 version 1.0 Section 3 - page 10
ƒ The Agency’s Communication Lead provides their agency with monthly
communications to ensure clear, frequent and consistent messages.

ƒ The Agency’s Communication Lead should work closely with their Agency
Implementation Lead to anticipate and respond to their agency stakeholder
concerns.

ƒ The Agency’s Communication Lead is strongly encouraged to conduct agency


feedback sessions.

ƒ Examples of agency-wide communication methods can include:


- printed, electronic and/or web-based newsletters
- email communications
- manager messages within agencies
- ‘walk abouts’ for face-to-face and informal communication
- brown bag luncheons for question and answer sessions

3.7.3. Communication between the LaGov Agency Readiness Team and the
Agency Implementation Teams
Throughout the duration of the project it will be necessary to communicate
information to the Agencies and in return the Agencies will be asked to provide
information back to the LaGov Project Team. To help facilitate this, the LaGov
Project Team will direct all communication to the Agency Implementation Lead.
The AIL will then distribute the information and/or collect the information
requested and return it to the LaGov Project Team.

At times the turnaround for requested information will be short. As early as


possible, it is important that the AIL and the LaGov Project Team develop a clear
understanding of how information will be distributed from the LaGov Project Team
and how information should be returned to the LaGov Project Team. This
understanding should include procedures to be followed when the AIL is not
available.

3.7.4. Maintaining Agency Implementation Team Contact Lists


The Agency Implementation Lead (AIL) is responsible for maintaining a current
listing of any agency personnel participating on the Agency Implementation Team.
This contact list should be accessible to the entire agency to ensure communication
and feedback for the duration of the project. It is suggested that a history and
record of your agency’s implementation team be maintained in this Guide.

4.2 Finance Modules
4.2.1 General Ledger (GL)

4.2.1.1 General Ledger Account Definition

GL accounts are the structures that classify debit and credit values for accounting
transactions in the Financial (FI) module and form the basis for creating balance sheets
and income statements. There are five types of GL accounts – assets, liabilities, fund
balance (equity), revenues, and expenditures. The GL accounts are defined for the
Chart of Accounts.

In the integrated LaGov system, FI GL accounts have an established relationship with


items in other ledgers in the system. Budgets for GL expenditure accounts are checked
at the Commitment Item category level, the equivalent of object category level in the
legacy system. GL revenue and expenditure accounts are linked to Cost Elements to
classify costs for internal reporting, such as for interAgency transactions and cost
allocation.

The LaGov Chart of Accounts is one-dimensional, with nominal (revenue and


expenditure) and real (balance sheet) accounts only. GL accounts answer the question
“What?” and should be driven to the lowest level of detail required, while allowing
logical rollup for reporting. Nominal GL accounts should be used to define the nature
of revenues/expenditures or to provide a further breakdown of permanent or ongoing
revenues/expenditures. Real GL accounts should be used to provide a breakdown of
assets, liabilities, and fund balances to a level required for reporting.

4.2.1.2 LaGov GL Account Numbering

The State will use the following common public sector account presentation to design
GL accounts:

ƒ 1000000 – 1999999 Assets


ƒ 2000000 – 2999999 Liabilities
ƒ 3000000 – 3999999 Fund Balance
ƒ 4000000 – 4999999 Revenues
ƒ 5000000 – 5999999 Expenses
ƒ 9000000 – 9999999 CO Secondary Cost Elements

State of Louisiana LaGov ERP Project 04-21-2009 version 1.0 Section 4 – page 5
4.2.1.2 LaGov GL Account Numbering (cont)

The State’s GL accounts will have a 7 digit logical numbering scheme. Logic will be
built into the number, position by position, facilitating reporting and the integrated
design, while allowing for potential future growth. Addition and maintenance of GL
accounts will be processed centrally by the DOA. A graphical depiction of the
numbering scheme with a definition of each component is presented below:

___ ___ ___ __ __ __ __


(1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7)
(1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7)
1 = Assets First major Second major Sequentially assigned
2 = Liabilities breakdown breakdown as required to support
3 = Fund Balance of class of class reporting requirements
4 = Revenue for further breakdown
5 = Expense of accounts

4.2.1.3 LaGov Chart of Accounts - Design

The LaGov chart of accounts will combine the existing ISIS and DOTD charts, as well
as incorporate DOE’s LAUGH classification of accounts. In addition, the new chart
will significantly expand to accommodate the business needs of all Agencies. Much
data currently being captured in various fields within the legacy systems will be
captured using GL accounts in LaGov. Once the design of the chart of accounts has
been substantially completed, it will be published for Agencies to review.

State of Louisiana LaGov ERP Project 04-21-2009 version 1.0 Section 4 – page 6
4.2.1.4 LaGov Chart of Accounts - GL Account Grouping

Categories of GL accounts are grouped together to facilitate reporting. Additionally,


ally,
the use of account groupings allows the State to logically group accounts together and
to ensure that new accounts are created in the correct number range. The following
groupings have been defined for the logical breakdown of accounts for the State:

4.2.1.5 LaGov Chart of Accounts - GL Account Additional Requirements

The chart of accounts will support specific requirements for external reporting, cash
management, budgetary integration, and asset integration. Additionally, GASB34
reporting requirements, such as accounting for assets and long term debt, will be
accommodated. Separate GASB34 accounts will facilitate reporting on both bases of
accounting: modified accrual and full accrual. By using separate accounts for
GASB34, these accounts can be included when reporting on a full accrual basis or
excluded when reporting on the traditional modified accrual basis. Fixed assets,
liabilities and investments will be recorded using both bases of accounting
simultaneously, regardless of the type of fund. Affected postings in these areas will be
configured to automatically make regular postings and GASB postings (to GASB
accounts) to facilitate both methods.

State of Louisiana LaGov ERP Project 04-21-2009 version 1.0 Section 4 – page 10
4.2.2 Controlling (CO)

4.2.2.1 LaGov Controlling (CO) Module & Cost Center Accounting

The LaGov Controlling (CO) module is responsible for cost accounting related
activities for the State of Louisiana. Cost accounting is the process of accumulating,
measuring, analyzing, interpreting, and reporting cost information to assist
management in meeting business/program objectives. The CO module is designed to
provide management and other internal decision-makers with the necessary
information for managing, and optimizing business processes. In conjunction with the
other Financial modules, it provides functionality needed for the collection and
reporting of actual costs and revenues. Additionally, CO is responsible for internal
financial data flows such as costs allocations.

4.2.1.1.1 Cost Centers

A Cost Center is a CO organizational unit that represents a clearly defined location


where costs and/or revenues occur. These organizational units can be created on the
basis of functional, activity-related, spatial, and/or responsibility-related parameters.

Following are important points to remember regarding Cost Centers:

• Departmental breakdown of Agency structure


• Lowest level of Agency where costs are collected and analyzed
• Cost Centers are structured into hierarchical groups
• In LaGov, Revenues / Expenses can be recorded in the same Cost Center

4.2.1.1.2 Budget Control and Funds Management (FM)

The Funds Management module (FM) provides integrated, on-line, real-time


functionality for processing, recording and maintaining budgetary control. While an
extensive discussion of the FM module is beyond the scope of this document, it is
important for the reader to understand that FM and CO work together to control
budget. The FM object known as Funds Center will represent organizational areas of
financial and budgetary responsibility in LaGov. They will have a one-to-one
relationship with Cost Centers and will share the same numbering scheme to facilitate
derivation of the correct “appropriation unit” for budget consumption when the Cost
Center is referenced in posting. In other words, there will be a Funds Center created
for every Cost Center, with the same number.

State of Louisiana LaGov ERP Project 04-21-2009 version 1.0 Section 4 – page 11
4.2.1.1.3 Cost Center/Funds Center Numbering

The LaGov Cost Center/Funds Center will have a 10 character logical numbering
scheme. A graphical depiction of the numbering scheme with a definition of each
component is presented below:

1. Agency/Business Area – three digit number assigned to each Agency

2. Program – appropriated program as defined in House Bill 1. This should be


equal to the AFS Appropriation unit.

3. Program Activity – this is a new term for the “Activity” that was required to
be submitted by each Agency as part of the 2009-2010 Budget Request
Additionally, Agencies should provide the performance indicator(s)
associated with each Activity (please see additional explanation below)

4. Division – Organizational unit that is unique to each program. There may or


may not be Divisions associated with each Program/Program Activity.

5. Section - Organizational unit that is unique to each Division. There may or


may not be Sections associated with each Division.

State of Louisiana LaGov ERP Project 04-21-2009 version 1.0 Section 4 – page 12
4.2.1.1.4 Program Activity Explanation

Agencies should submit Program Activities in accordance with the prior instructions from the
Division of Administration.

As part of the Fiscal Year 2009-2010 Budget Request, the Division of Administration
requested that each budget unit submit information about their Activities. This additional
information was to provide a detailed picture of each program that would allow the Division to
evaluate Activities based on outcome-driven performance indicators.

For the purpose of this request, Agencies were instructed to define what constitutes an
Activity with the following three conditions:

1. A program’s Activities must be lower than a program level. In particularly small


programs, it is possible that there might only be one activity, but that should be rare.
2. All the Activities of a program must aggregate to that program. For example, the total
budget request for a program should be equal to the sum of all budget requests for
each Activity included in that program. Thus all the expenditures made by a program
must be captured in an Activity, and there should be no Activities that are not
associated with a program.
3. The Activity must have at least one meaningful, measureable outcome performance
indicator.
Note: Agencies should not allow the development of performance indicators to delay
the completion and return of the Cost Center structure.
Additional guidelines to consider when developing Activities are:
1. Produces a clearly-articulated outcome or outcomes for an identified group of
customers,
2. Supports the Administration’s priorities and/or complies with a legal requirement,
3. Measures outcomes and the performance of the Activities that produce the
outcome(s),
4. Is accountable for performance, and
5. Have identifiable costs for budgeting and management purposes.
6. Is independent of other Activities (i.e. severable)

Activities have been framed at too small a level when:


• It is difficult to clearly identify a meaningful outcome for a substantial group of
customers, or
• The total resources invested fall below $100,000.

Activities have been framed at too large a level when:


• The program produces so many different outcomes for different customer groups that
analysis and accountability is muddled,
• The program involves so many different players that there is no one in a good position
to take responsibility for outcomes, or
• Policy makers and other decision makers find that the size of the program hinders
understanding, analysis, and improvement.

4.2.2.2 Internal Orders

The LaGov system will utilize two types of Internal Orders.

4.2.2.2.1 Statistical Internal Orders

Statistical Internal Orders provide an additional dimension to further breakdown a


specific cost. These Orders are for reporting purposes only and their costs cannot be
settled (transferred) to another object. An example would be a recurring event where
revenues/expenses need to be identified for reporting purposes such as cook offs, trade
fairs, conferences, etc. –

State of Louisiana LaGov ERP Project 04-21-2009 version 1.0 Section 4 – page 14
4.2.2.2.2 Real Internal Orders

A temporary cost collector used to identify cost that will be settled (transferred) to a
permanent cost collector, such as a Cost Center. An example would be a conference
sponsored by multiple divisions within an Agency. Revenues/Expenses would post to
the Real Internal Order. Upon completion of the conference, revenues/expenses will
be transferred to each Agency based on an established agreement. However, for
reporting purposes, Agencies can still see the complete history of the transactions
posted.

12. Glossary
In order to ensure clear communication and consistency across all agencies throughout
implementation, it will be important to use a common vocabulary when referring to
aspects of the project. Throughout this Guide, there is terminology that may not be
understood by all readers, or may have a different or more specific connotation to the
reader than to the authors.

Section 12 of the Guide contains a Glossary that provides the project definitions of
functional and technical terms to help clarify their exact meaning. In addition the
Glossary contains various general terms associated with the project. As new sections of
the Guide are added, the Glossary will be revised. The Glossary is intended to be a
dynamic and fluid document that will be updated on a regular basis.
