View a snapshot of enterprise IT asset current valuation.

IT Asset Management provides financial statistics metrics that you can access through the IT portal. You can drill down to a more detailed summary component from the portal.

The metrics include cost and depreciation information about IT hardware and software assets and can be grouped by user-defined department tree or user-defined business unit tree. The grouping of the financial data is defined on the user preferences setup page in IT Asset Management. If the setup is changed, the metrics are reset and new metrics are posted when the IT Financial Report process is run.

Use the Financial Statistics Detail page (IT_FIN_STAT_COMP) to view a snapshot of enterprise IT asset current valuation.
