Executive Summary
The FA Asset Retirements report details assets that have been retired or sold during a specific period. It is essential for calculating gains and losses on disposal and ensuring that retired assets are removed from the active depreciation schedule.
Business Challenge
- Gain/Loss Calculation: Accurately determining the financial impact of asset disposals.
- Tax Reporting: Reporting asset disposals correctly for tax purposes.
- Clean Register: Preventing “zombie assets” (retired but still on books) from inflating insurance premiums or tax liabilities.
The Solution
This Blitz Report streamlines retirement analysis by:
- Gain/Loss Visibility: Clearly showing the Proceeds of Sale, Cost of Removal, and resulting Gain/Loss.
- Retirement Types: Distinguishing between sales, thefts, or casual retirements.
- Period-End Processing: assisting in the month-end close process by validating all retirement transactions.
Technical Architecture
Based on FAS440_XML, the report queries FA_RETIREMENTS and joins with FA_BOOKS to get the Net Book Value at the time of retirement. It calculates the gain/loss based on the formula: Proceeds - Cost of Removal - Net Book Value.
Parameters & Filtering
- Book: The depreciation book.
- From/To Period: The period range when the retirement occurred.
Performance & Optimization
- Period Range: Keep the range consistent with your financial reporting cycle (e.g., monthly or quarterly).
- Currency: Ensure the correct currency is selected if working in a multi-currency environment.
FAQ
- Q: What happens if I reinstate a retirement?
- A: Reinstatements are typically handled as a separate transaction type or by reversing the retirement entry, depending on how the report filters status.
- Q: Does this include partial retirements?
- A: Yes, it shows both full and partial retirements, with the retired cost portion displayed.
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.
