Question:
We have added Asset Item as a Stock / consumable Item. How to move this item to Fixed Asset register, so that Depreciation can be applied on it?
Answer:
Please follow the steps given below to have stock item moved to fixed asset item.
Stocking Out Consumable Item
- Create a Stock Entry of type Material Issue
- Select Items, with respective Source Warehouse, where stock of item is available
- For an item, select "Stock Adjustment" as a Difference Account.
On submission of this Stock Entry, the item in question will be completely stock-out from your Warehouse. Also, the item's valuation will be debited in the Stock Adjustment Account.
Adding Item as Fixed Asset Item
- Create a New Asset from Assets > New
- In the Asset master, select Item and enter relevant details

And then again, to update fixed asset account, you have to pass a Journal Entry where you can debit the Fixed Asset account and credit the Stock adjustment account.
