Derive Fixed Assets(FA) Depreciation programmatically

Deriving Year-to-Date/Accumulated Depreciation, Ytd bonus, Accumulated bonus in Fixed Assets using a query will not always give an accurate depreciation amount because of various factors like transactions made against an asset, reinstatement, retirement, adjustment etc. 
DEPRECIATION - BEHIND THE SCENES
When you run depreciation, Oracle Assets processes each asset according to the transactions that you have performed on the asset since the last depreciation.


FA_DEPRN_DETAIL
For each depreciable asset, Oracle Assets inserts one row per distribution line that was active at any time during the current period.
FA_DEPRN_SUMMARY
Oracle Assets inserts one row per depreciable asset. 


Use the following API to always get accurate results:

Update FND User Password

Following is a script to update FND User password programatically from the database in Oracle:

DECLARE
   l_updpwd   BOOLEAN;
