SAP Fiori Apps are specifically tailored to the needs of the modern business environment. This opens up new opportunities in finance. In a blog series, we present the best apps. Today, part 2 and 'F3096 – Overview of Asset Accounting'.
Managing fixed assets is one of the central challenges for modern companies. Whether it's machinery, vehicle fleets, or real estate – only those who have full transparency over existing assets, their values, and movements can make informed decisions, minimise risks, and meet legal requirements. Given the stricter audit and reporting requirements, smart and efficient asset accounting is of particular importance.
This is where the SAP Fiori App 'F3096 – Overview of Asset Accounting' comes into play. It serves to manage and monitor all processes related to a company's fixed assets – from acquisition and activation to various depreciation methods, disposals, and transfers. The promise: simplification, transparency, and efficiency.
Right from the start: The promise is fulfilled. For us, the app 'Overview of Asset Accounting' is one of the central tools for today's external accounting. Why? We want to illustrate this with a brief insight into the app.
What 'Overview of Asset Accounting' can do
As already hinted, the SAP Fiori App 'Overview of Asset Accounting' is an analytical app with key information and KPIs for asset accounting. It is available from SAP S/4HANA Release 1809 (Private Cloud and On-Premise) or from SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud 2502. The modern user interface provides a central information overview of the entire asset area with graphical representations, filtering options, and navigation options to related apps, seamlessly integrated. This means that stocks, additions and disposals, or depreciations can be analysed in parallel and clearly presented through graphics and KPIs.
The overview of asset accounting impresses on all levels.
By starting with the straightforward function selection, a multitude of options opens up, which can be further tailored to individual use through specific filters.
When we delve into the details, the graphical presentation immediately stands out. It significantly eases the overview while simultaneously making reporting options correspondingly diverse.

Strengths of the SAP Fiori Design Principle
The SAP Fiori design principle stands for user-friendliness and efficiency.
User-Friendliness (User Experience)
The clearly structured, intuitive interface allows for easy navigation on all devices – from desktop to smartphone. The tile design provides direct access to relevant functions and a visual overview of important tasks. Dashboards can be customised, significantly enhancing the user experience. Collaboration also benefits: comments, notes, and tasks can be shared directly within the system.
Efficiency and Analysis
Through integration into SAP S/4HANA, automated reminders, and graphical real-time analyses, tasks are completed faster and decisions are made more informed. Reports are directly embedded in the app – for a legally compliant, efficient management of fixed assets.
