Executive Summary
The FA Cost Adjustments report provides a detailed audit trail of all changes made to asset costs within a specified period. It is essential for verifying that cost adjustments—whether from invoice additions, manual adjustments, or revaluations—are correctly recorded and approved.
Business Challenge
- Audit Trail: Tracking who changed an asset’s cost and why.
- Financial Accuracy: Ensuring that cost adjustments are reflected in the depreciation base.
- Invoice Reconciliation: Matching cost adjustments back to the source AP invoices.
The Solution
This Blitz Report enhances the standard cost adjustment tracking by:
- Source Details: Optionally showing the specific invoice lines that drove the cost change.
- Transaction Context: Linking the adjustment to the specific transaction type (e.g., ADDITION, ADJUSTMENT).
- Supplier Visibility: Displaying supplier information for invoice-related adjustments.
Technical Architecture
Based on FAS840_XML, the report queries FA_TRANSACTION_HEADERS for cost-impacting transactions. It joins FA_ASSET_INVOICES and AP_SUPPLIERS to provide the upstream source document details when requested.
Parameters & Filtering
- Book: The asset book.
- Period Range: The time window for the adjustments.
- Show Source Invoice Details: A toggle to include granular invoice data.
Performance & Optimization
- Invoice Details: Enabling “Show Source Invoice Details” adds significant volume to the report; use only when detailed reconciliation is needed.
- Period Range: Keep the range narrow (e.g., current period) for month-end validation.
FAQ
- Q: Does this show mass additions?
- A: Yes, if the mass addition resulted in a cost adjustment or new asset cost.
- Q: Why is the cost adjustment negative?
- A: A negative adjustment typically indicates a credit memo or a manual reduction in asset value.
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.
