Executive Summary
The FA Asset Impairments report provides a detailed listing of asset impairments, supporting financial compliance and accurate asset valuation. It is critical for Finance teams to track reductions in the recoverable amount of fixed assets and ensure the General Ledger reflects true asset values.
Business Challenge
- Regulatory Compliance: Meeting accounting standards (like IAS 36 or FAS 144) regarding asset impairment.
- Financial Accuracy: Ensuring that the book value of assets does not exceed their recoverable amount.
- Audit Trail: Maintaining a clear record of impairment losses and reversals for audit purposes.
The Solution
This Blitz Report facilitates impairment management by:
- Detailed Reporting: Listing impairment amounts, net book values, and impairment reasons for each asset.
- Cash Generating Units (CGU): Supporting analysis at the CGU level, which is essential for impairment testing.
- Reconciliation: Helping reconcile impairment postings to the General Ledger.
Technical Architecture
The report extracts data from FA_IMPAIRMENTS, FA_ADDITIONS_VL, and FA_BOOK_CONTROLS. It links assets to their respective Cash Generating Units via FA_CASH_GEN_UNITS. The SQL logic handles both standard and reporting currency (MRC) impairments if applicable.
Parameters & Filtering
- Book: The depreciation book to analyze.
- Start/End Period: The range of accounting periods for the report.
- Impairment: Filter by specific impairment ID or status.
- Cash Generating Unit: Filter for assets belonging to a specific CGU.
Performance & Optimization
- Period Range: Run for specific open periods to minimize data volume during month-end close.
- Book: Always specify the corporate or tax book to avoid duplicate data from multiple books.
FAQ
- Q: What is a Cash Generating Unit (CGU)?
- A: A CGU is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.
- Q: Does this report show reversed impairments?
- A: Yes, depending on the status and period selected, it can show impairment reversals.
Oracle E-Business Suite Reporting Library
We provide an open source Oracle EBS SQLs as a part of operational and project implementation support toolkits for rapid Excel reports generation.
Blitz Report™ is based on Oracle EBS forms technology, and hence requires minimal training. There are no data or performance limitations since the output files are created directly from the database without going through intermediate file formats such as XML.
Blitz Report can be used as BI Publisher and Oracle Discoverer replacement tool. Standard Oracle BI Publisher and Discoverer reports can also be imported into Blitz Report for immediate output to Excel. Typically, reports can be created and version tracked within hours instead of days. The concurrent request output automatically opens upon completion without the need for re-formatting.
The Filters, Columns, Rows and Values fields are used to create and deliver the data in pivot table format with full drill down to details.

The Excel template upload functionality in Blitz Report allows users to create their own layouts by uploading an Excel template with additional sheets and charts, automatically refreshed when the report runs again. This allows to create custom dashboards and more advanced visualizations of report data.

You can download and use Blitz Report free of charge for your first 30 reports.
The installation and implementation process usually takes less than 1 hour; you can refer to our installation and user guides for specific details.
