Fixed Assets - Clarity on Depreciation Source Code

Chris Pfeifer

We are currently implementing Fixed Assets in Oracle Fusion ERP and would like assistance from FA SMEs as we have begun work on OTBI dashboards and reports:

In the Fixed Assets - Asset Depreciation Real Time subject area, there is the folder/column "Depreciation Details"."Depreciation Source Code" and Oracle guidance is to filter on Depreciation Source Code = D. The FA documentation and MOS KM Docs are not very clear about how the values "B" and "D" arise in that column and how best to represent data such as Net Book Value based on filtering on this column.

We'd like to know the scenarios to be aware of when reporting in OTBI. For example, we are assuming that when legacy asset data is first added, the code starts as "B". Then it changes to "D" when the depreciation process is run. What if the process is NOT run? Does that mean that the asset will not be seen in OTBI unless it is run?
