Current Book Value

This report is intended for verifying reconciliation with the general ledger. The report displays the current asset book values in one depreciation area. The following values are displayed in detail per asset:

Current value adjustments are the sum of the following values:

  • Accumulated value adjustments from closed fiscal years

  • Write-ups

  • Value adjustments that were post-capitalized, transferred or retired

And depreciation posted in the current fiscal year

Gain on the Transfer of Reserves

This report is based on ABAP Query. It shows all asset retirements and the book value that was retired. It also shows the revenue on the sale. Gain/loss is calculated as the difference between the book value retired and the revenue.

Mid-Quarter Alert

The purpose of the report is to meet the financial reporting requirements relating to the mid-quarter convention in the United States. The report lists the asset acquisitions per quarter in the reporting year. In addition, the report displays the maximum-allowed acquisition amount for the fourth quarter according to the mid-quarter convention (40% of the total amount acquired in the given year). If the amount acquired exceeds this maximum amount in the fourth quarter, the report issues a warning.
