Cost Summary Report
Beginning balance, additions, retirements, adjustments, and ending balance for each asset cost account — the summary used to reconcile asset cost to the general ledger.
Sample build of the Cost Summary Report — reconciled, and rendered tool-neutral so it runs in Power BI, ThoughtSpot, or Tableau.

The report rolls each cost account from beginning plus additions minus retirements plus or minus adjustments to ending.
The roll-forward ties except one account where ending doesn't equal the computed movement — a direct GL post to the asset cost account.
Keep manual journals off asset cost accounts; a direct post breaks the cost roll-forward's tie to the ledger.
This is the report's BI Publisher data model — the SQL data set BI Publisher runs against Oracle tables to produce the output. The same SQL becomes a dbt model in your warehouse, so one definition drives both the formatted report and the analytics layer.
Data sources
- FA_BOOKS
- FA_ADDITIONS_B
- FA_RETIREMENTS
The data-warehouse model — one fact surrounded by conformed dimensions (what you slice by) and measures (what you aggregate), expressed as dbt so it migrates with you. Grain: one row per source transaction.

Customization note The build ties this to the GL Account Analysis so asset cost proves to the ledger. Irvine rebuilds these on your data.
