This is valuable to assess the cost of assets in a department and their age and potential need for replacement. This report just shows the items. Other reports show the age by item type and notional depreciated value

This report is run mainly to identify items that have not been returned to enable management to chase them up. If this information is not readily available new kit might be purchased because no-one knew that the item was already available elsewhere in the organisation.

This report is useful to identify the usage of an item and, in case of loss, where it could be by looking at the last known locations.
