Full Retirement : Retiring an entire asset including all of its units and cost.

Retiring Separately Across Depreciation Books : Retire an asset from any depreciation book without affecting other books
Reinstating Retired Assets
The effect of your reinstatement depends on the status of the retirement.
Reinstating with a PENDING status:
Choose undo retirement to delete the retirement transaction.
No Journal entries are created, and there is no audit trail.
Reinstating with a PROCESSED Status
Choose Reinstate to create the reinstatement transaction.
When you run the Calculate Gains and Losses program, Oracle Assets creates journal entries to reverse the effects of the retirement.
Reversing a Reinstatement
If you decide to reinstate a retired asset, you can query the reinstatement by using the original retirement number.
Choose Undo Reinstatement.
