Asset Salvage Value as a Percentage of Cost Default the salvage value of assets as a
percentage of cost, according to percentages defined for each category and book.
Depreciate Assets Beyond the Useful Life Depreciated an asset in the years following its
useful life if the asset uses a straight-line or flat rate depreciation method.
Integration with Oracle projects Create capitalized assets from capital asset lines in Oracle
Projects. When Interface Assets process is ran, Oracle Projects sends valid asset lines to an
interface table in Oracle Assets. Review these mass addition lines in Oracle Assets and
determine whether to create assets from any of the mass additions. View project information
associated with a mass addition by choosing the Project Details button from the Mass Additions
window.
Mass Retirements Retire a group of assets at one time. Oracle Assets will allow an undo
retirement or reinstatement of a group of assets.
Lease Analysis Define and analyze leases in Oracle Assets using the Lease Details and Lease
Payments forms.
o Lease Details form Define a lease and test to determine whether to capitalize or
depreciate assets assigned.
o Lease Payment form Define a payment schedule for a lease, and calculate the present
value of the lease payments (manually maintained).
Distribution Sets Automatically assign distributions to a new asset or mass addition quickly
and accurately by using a predefined distribution set.
Mass Additions
o Two methods to enter distributions enter distributions at the header of the form (one
distribution for the line) or enter multiple distribution lines through the Assignment
button on the form.
o Assign multiple distributions, or change existing distributions before posting the mass
addition lines.
o Oracle Assets allows to combine features during the prepare mass additions process,
Merging invoice lines and then splitting them to create multiple assets.
Release 11 NCA:
o

Asset Maintenance Record maintenance history of assets and schedule future maintenance
events.
Security by Book Secure data access by depreciation book and create hierarchy of asset
security. Assign a depreciation book to responsibilities to limit access to viewing and transacting
on assets in a secured book.
Support for Short Tax Year When a merger or acquisition takes place and the companies
maintained their tax records on different fiscal years, a short tax year scenario is created. Using
formula-based depreciation methods, this feature can handle the depreciation reporting
requirements of a short tax fiscal year.
Depreciation (Enhancement) This enhancement will now allow depreciation to be run
multiple times during a given period.
o Run Depreciation Multiple Times before Closing the Period When running
depreciation choose to close the period or to leave it open. Once you choose to close the
period it cannot be reopened. This enhancement will allow for last minute adjustments
of additions prior to closing the period.
o Formula-based Depreciation Customize depreciation calculations using a flexible
formula. Define formulas using an intuitive calculator-like window. Use combinations
for constant and variables such as life of the assets and remaining life of the asset.
o Rollback Depreciation With the enhancement to allow running depreciation multiple
times, a new feature to rollback the depreciation calculation was created. Prior to rerunning depreciation in a given month, this feature would be run to rollback the
depreciation in order to allow for another calculation of depreciation.

Mass Reclassification Reclassify a group of assets using flexible criteria. During this function,
choose to have the assets inherit the depreciation rules of the new category.
Maintain CIP Assets in Tax Books This feature allows for CIP asset to be maintained on tax
books. This is primarily used in Europe and Latin America.
Maintain Asset Insurance Values Manage the risk of loss and damage to your capital assets
by tracking their insurance values, thus enabling you to file timely and accurate insurance claims.
o Value as New Asset acquisition cost is used to determine its insurance value.
o Current Market Net book value of the asset can be used to determine the asset
insurance value.
o Manual Value Manually enter an insurance value for the asset.
View Accounting Lines Oracle allows you to view the accounting behind transactions
performed in the Asset system.
o View Accounting Lines window View detail accounting lines on transactions. View
the accounts (debit account and credit account), amounts (debit amount and credit
amount), transaction reference and other relevant accounting information generated
behind-the-scenes by AutoAccounting.
o T-Account window View accounting entries in a graphical T-account format.
o Drilldown from General Ledger Drilldown from Oracle General Ledger into Oracle
Assets to view the individual assets that made up the particular journal entry that was
created by Oracle Assets in Oracle General Ledger.
MRC Transaction Upgrade Utilities Use this utility to convert open transactions from your
primary functional currency to your reporting functional currencies. Run other upgrade utilities
to perform the same conversion in other Oracle subledgers that support MRC and to initialize
General Ledger account balances in your reporting sets of books.
Multiple Language Support View data in clients language, other than English. Enter
QuickCodes values in clients language, other than English.
Improved Exception-handling During Depreciation This feature will streamline the
depreciation process during execution of the process. The program will process all valid assets
in one operation and flags any exceptions in the log file. View the log and systematically correct
exceptions before re-running the depreciation program to process the remaining assets.
Mass Transfers (Enhancement) Expanded selection criteria (high-low range capability on the
depreciation expense account, cost center, company, and other segments of the accounting
flexfield). Also specify a transfer date in a prior period and Assets will adjust the resulting
depreciation expense appropriately.
What-if Depreciation Analysis on Hypothetical Assets Analyze what-if scenarios for future
assets, making it possible to select the optimal depreciation strategy for your capital assets even
before you add them to the system.
Release 12:
o
Subledger Accounting Oracle Subledger Accounting provides tools that allow users to meet
mulli-GAAP, corporate, and fiscal accounting requirements. With this flexible tool, users can
determine the accounts, lines, descriptions, summarizations, and dates of their journal entries.
Enhanced Mass Additions Interface for Legacy Conversions Additional attributes are
available in the Mass Additions interface table to ease the legacy data conversion process. (For
example):
o Asset life
Oracle Assets
Copyright 2009 Chi-Star Technology
SM
o Depreciation Method
o Prorate Convention
o Bonus Rule Ceiling Name
o Depreciation Limit
Automatic Preparation of Mass Additions A set of extensible public APIs is available to
automatically prepare a mass addition line for all required attributes such as depreciation expense
account, asset category, location, etc. with the goal of minimizing manual intervention by the
user in the mass additions workbench.
Enhanced Functionality for Energy Industry
o Asset Impairment Impairment is used to reduce the carrying value of a producing
asset. Basically this is unplanned depreciation.
o Energy Units of Production Method In the oil & gas industry, asset properties may
include fields, leases, and wells. These assets are typically associated with units of
production (UOP) and are depreciated using a special UOP depreciation method. Units
of production are entered on the group asset for calculating depreciation and then
allocated down to the member assets.
o Energy Straight Line Method In the oil & gas industry, non-producing assets are
depreciated using the energy straight-line method based on the assets net book value.
Flexible Reporting Using XML Publisher Oracle Assets leverages the Oracle XML Publisher
technology to support major asset transaction reports. With XML Publisher, you can display
reports in variable formats by creating your own templates using familiar tools such as Acrobat,
Word, and Excel.
Automatic Depreciation Rollbacks Since 11i, users have been able to run depreciation for an
asset book without closing the period. If additional adjustments are required in the current
period, then the user submits a process to roll back depreciation for the entire book. In R12 the
intermediate manual step of rolling back depreciation for the entire book in order to process
further adjustments on selected assets is no longer necessary. The system will automatically
rollback depreciation on the impacted assets to allow for adjustments in the current period.
Enhanced Logging for Asset Transactions and Programs Through the common logging
architecture, Oracle Assets ensures a common repository for all log messages within and outside
the product. This reduces usage on the file system for excessively large log files.

1. Mass Additions upload converted assets and used by Payables and Projects
2. Tax upload tax details to update tax assets
3. ACE upload ACE tax details
4. Production upload units of production details used for depreciation
5. Budget upload budget details
Key Flexfields
To have a better understanding of where information is coming from in the system, an understanding of
the Key Flexfield is in order and an understanding of what other information is attached to key flexfield
data.

This is how the above new features automatically assigns values for the desired field:
Asset Category - this will be automatically assigned based on the asset clearing account
that Payables books the invoice to. The clearing account and asset category must have a
1 to 1 relationship in order for this process to work. Therefore in order for this to work,
every asset category must have its own asset / cip clearing account that is not shared with
any other asset category.
Depreciation Expense Account - this will be automatically assigned based on the asset
category that has been assigned. Oracle will simply take the clearing account code
combination that Payables books the invoice to and change the account segment value to
the defined depreciation expense account value defined for the asset category this process
assigns. Therefore, Oracle is taking a balance sheet account and changing it into a P&L
account by just changing the account value. If your company have different rules for BS
accounts versus P&L accounts, then this will not work out-of-the-box. This process will
only work for companies/organizations that have the same rules for both BS accounts and
P&L accounts.
