Contents of the Print Sequential Other Books Depreciation History RPT Screen
Use the fields and options to configure the Print Sequential Other Books Depreciation History RPT screen.
You can print a summary report or a detail report that prints data asset-by-asset. You can print data for all optional books, but only for a single book at a time. You can print data for a range of items (including just one) or all items, including asset/item numbers, asset accounts, organizations, and/or projects and/or fiscal years/periods. Use additional selection criteria to print project subtotals, to print data by accounting period, and to display amounts as whole numbers. Sort options include by account, by organization, by account/org, or by asset no/item no. You can use the page break option for sorts other than by asset/item number.
This report is designed to print historical depreciation data in an easy-to-read spreadsheet format using side-by-side columns. As such, you can print it only on legal-sized paper. Eleven data columns can print per report page using the full decimal values from the Other Books Depreciation History table. If you print the values in whole (rounded) numbers for the report, however, 14 data columns can print per report page.
You can print this report at any time. Historical data for previously closed periods is captured and stored in the Other Books Depreciation History table. As a result, historical depreciation data can be retrieved at will.
Identification
Use the fields in this block to create a new parameter ID or to retrieve a previously saved parameter ID. A parameter ID represents a set of screen selection parameters. After you have saved a parameter ID and its related parameters, you can retrieve them using Query.
You can use the retrieved parameters to produce reports and run processes more efficiently and with greater consistency. The saved parameters are also useful and necessary when you want to run the process as part of a batch job. Many users save a unique set of parameters for each different way they run a report or process. When you select a previously saved parameter ID or parameter description, the associated saved screen selection parameters automatically display as selection defaults. The page setup and print options, if there are any, are also included in the saved parameter ID. You can change any of the associated selection defaults as necessary.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Parameter ID |
Enter, or click
When you save your record, all the selections made on the screen are stored with the parameter ID. Later, you can retrieve the parameter using Query. You can use the parameter to run the process more efficiently because you can select the parameter ID with its previously defined screen selections. After the default selections display on the screen, you can override the defaults. |

Closed Time Periods
Use the following fields to select records for the report from a specified beginning fiscal year and period to an ending fiscal year and period.
You can only select values in the Fiscal Year fields those that are already set up on the Manage Fixed Assets Fiscal Years screen.

The Period fields display only those accounting periods already set up on the Manage Fixed Assets Accounting Periods screen for the fiscal year specified in the Fiscal Year field. Because the display in the Period field is a standard Lookup to the FA_PD_INFO table, you may find that you have selected a period for which historical depreciation expense data for other books do not exist.
