Double-click on version **0001**. On the screen shown below, you’ll see how the various asset transactions and balances are grouped together when displayed in the columns and rows of the report. ![History Sheet Version Settings](https://blog.sap-press.com/hs-fs/hubfs/1940_06_022.png?width=1395&name=1940_06_022.png) Double-click, for example, on **Acquisition**. On the screen shown in in the next figure, you’ll see how history sheet groups are allocated to that cell of the report.   ![Allocation of History Sheet Positions](https://blog.sap-press.com/hs-fs/hubfs/1940_06_023.png?width=1270&name=1940_06_023.png)   In the **Grp** column, you’ll see various history sheet groups. Transactions posted with transaction types that are linked to those history sheet groups will appear in the report when an **X** appears in the fields to the right, according to the following definitions: - **Trn** indicates transaction values. - **Ord** indicates ordinary depreciation. - **Spc** indicates special depreciation. - **Upl** indicates unplanned depreciation. - **6B** indicates a transfer of reserves. In the **App** section, you can select transaction types according to the following definitions: - **Trn** indicates revaluation. - **Ord** indicates revaluation depreciation. - **IGr** indicates investment support. A history sheet group is assigned to each transaction type. Let’s check the assignments for our example acquisition transaction types. To define asset transaction types for acquisitions, follow the menu path **Financial Accounting >** **Asset Accounting >** **Transactions >** **Acquisitions >** **Define Transaction Types for Acquisitions**. Then, double click on a transaction type. On the configuration screen shown below, you’ll see the history sheet group **10 Acquisition** has been assigned in the **Asst Hist Sheet Grp** field.   ![History Sheet Group in Transaction Type](https://blog.sap-press.com/hs-fs/hubfs/1940_06_024.png?width=1125&name=1940_06_024.png)   History sheet groups are defined by following the menu path **Financial Accounting >** **Asset Accounting >** **Information System >** **Asset History Sheet >** **Define History Sheet Groups**. On the screen shown in the final figure, review and confirm the history sheet groups, which are assigned in the asset transaction type.   ![Defining History Sheet Groups](https://blog.sap-press.com/hs-fs/hubfs/1940_06_025.png?width=1157&name=1940_06_025.png)   With these steps completed, you’ll be ready to run the history sheet report in [SAP S/4HANA Finance](https://learning.sap-press.com/sap-s4hana-finance).   *Editor’s note*: This post has been adapted from a section of the book [*Asset Accounting with SAP S/4HANA*](https://www.sap-press.com/asset-accounting-with-sap-s4hana_5028/?utm_source=sappressblog&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=Blogs&utm_term=chapter6&utm_content=1940)by [Stoil Jotev](https://www.linkedin.com/in/stoiljotev/).
