The reason why this is not typically turned on is because at most companies, when the purchase is made, the company will not know whether it should be classified as a fixed asset or just a regular expense at the time of purchase. It&#8217;s only after the purchase is made that the finance department will determine whether it&#8217;s a fixed asset or not.<\/p>\n<p>If it&#8217;s determined to be a fixed asset, a reclass will be done using the general journal to move the expense into the fixed asset G\/L account.<\/p>\n<h1>Usage<\/h1>\n<p>To post the initial book value or the acquisition cost, you will use the <a href=\"https:\/\/learn.microsoft.com\/en-us\/training\/modules\/create-journals\/\">Fixed Assets Journal<\/a>. When you run the depreciation, you will use the Fixed Assets G\/L Journal because it&#8217;s integrated with the G\/L.
