The Information System for Asset Accounting is defined in the form of a report selection tree. This report selection tree is a freely definable hierarchical structure. When you double click on a node of the structure, the system calls up a standard report.

SAP provides a standard report tree (FIA1). You can copy this report tree and modify it to suit your needs (FI-AA-Customizing: Information System):

• Remove branches
• Add branches
• Change the call up of reports (call up customer-designed reports)

The report selection tree is found in the Asset Accounting application menu under Info system. The report tree displayed is always the one most recently defined in Customizing and set to the status "Active."

All of the reports in the standard report selection tree are pre-defined with report variants. Therefore, when you call them up, the initial selection screen appears in a simplified form. If you want to see the full initial selection screen, choose the All selections function in the selection screen, One of the important pre-defined options in the standard reports is "Display group totals only." If you also want to display individual assets, you can change this option in the full selection screen, which you reach by pressing All selections. The report variants all begin with "SAP..." You can copy these variants, if needed. Or you can manually create new variants, and enter them in the report tree.
