Assets Command Center

Assets Command Center Overview

Oracle Assets Command Center uses the Oracle Enterprise Command Center Framework to help you analyze and act on current asset-related data from across your enterprise. Improve your decision making and maximize operational efficiency with the sophisticated guided navigation and powerful search capability of the command center. Identify operational issues through metrics, graphs, and tag clouds, and take immediate action by drilling down directly to the underlying business processes in Oracle Assets.

As a fixed assets manager or fixed assets accountant, use the Assets Command Center to:

• Speed up period close.

  • Reconcile Oracle Assets and Oracle General Ledger accounting discrepancies.

  • Clear pending revalue, reclass, and transfer transactions, and more.

• Forecast and manage capitalization events.

  • Assess impact on key financial indicators.

  • Monitor capitalization spending.

• Increase asset utilization.

  • Resolve asset utilization, assignment, and location discrepancies.

  • Address data quality issues.

The Assets Command Center includes the following dashboards:

• Asset Reconciliations: Use this dashboard to investigate and correct discrepancies between asset cost accounts in Oracle General Ledger (GL) and in Oracle Subledger Accounting (SLA). See Asset Reconciliations Dashboard.

• Asset Cost: Use this dashboard to analyze asset costs for major and minor categories. The dashboard displays an overview of asset costs and accumulated depreciation by category. See Asset Cost Dashboard.

• Asset Aging: Use this dashboard to search for assets and to view asset aging. The dashboard provides useful asset life information for all assets depreciated by the base-life method. See Asset Aging Dashboard.

• Asset Location: Use this dashboard to track fixed assets across all locations and employee assignments, and to detect discrepancies in cost center assignments. The actionable links in this dashboard help you execute asset transfers and assignments in Oracle Assets to resolve missing assignments or mis-allocated resources. See Asset Location Dashboard.

• Asset Mass Transactions: Use this dashboard to gain insight into pending transactions, such as mass additions, mass reclassifications, mass revaluations, and mass transfers. It provides actionable links to Oracle Assets for the fixed assets accountant to ensure that all pending transactions are processed on time to close asset books. See Asset Mass Transactions Dashboard.

• Asset Pipeline: Use this dashboard to check all additions pipeline that exist in Oracle Payables and Oracle Projects that affect asset costs. See Asset Pipeline Dashboard.

Note: You can use the Assets Command Center only after the installation and common configurations are completed as described in My Oracle Support Knowledge Document 2495053.1, Installing Oracle Enterprise Command Center Framework, Release 12.2. For additional ECC overview information, see Overview of Enterprise Command Centers, Oracle E-Business Suite User's Guide.

Searching Enterprise Command Center Dashboards

Use the dashboard sidebar to refine (filter) the data on each dashboard. You can select a value or record from the Available Refinements component, or use Search to find a keyword, a value, or a specific record. The type-ahead feature suggests matches for your entry that correspond to the available refinements. When you submit a search, the search term is added to the Selected Refinements list, and the dashboard data is refined to include only records that match the search. You can add multiple refinements and remove any of them at any time. Use Saved Search to create and save your search. You can edit, delete, or refer to this saved search. You can also use data sets to further refine your search.

Use an asterisk (*) or percent (%) to perform a partial keyword or record search that matches any string of zero or more characters. You can also use a question mark (?) to perform a partial search that matches any single character.

Additional Information: For more information about searching for and refining data in enterprise command centers, see "Search" in Highlights of an Enterprise Command Center, Oracle E-Business Suite User's Guide.

Asset Reconciliations Dashboard

See Assets Command Center Overview.

The Asset Reconciliations dashboard targets to help fixed assets managers to validate the cost accounts balance and all other balances affected by the following accounting events:

1. Additions and Capitalizations

2. Adjustments

3. Transfers and Reclassifications

4. Revaluations

5. Retirements and Reinstatements

The dashboard displays an overview of and visibility into all asset cost accounts balances for Oracle Assets and Oracle General Ledger. It displays them side by side to help you identify asset cost accounts. Further, this dashboard enables you to analyze data using asset metrics, charts, graphs, and tables.

Use the Asset Reconciliations dashboard to:

• Reconcile the year-to-date activities.

• Find discrepancies between Fixed Assets and General Ledger balances.

• Minimize errors and increase accuracy of financial statements.

Note: The Asset Reconciliations dashboard will not reconcile depreciation and accumulated depreciation accounts and will focus only on the Addition, Adjustment, Retirement, Revaluation, Transfer, and Reclass accounting events.

From the Fixed Assets Manager responsibility, navigate to the Asset Reconciliations dashboard:
