no
but I think when I define an asset it must effect on asset> fixed asset
If I created that journal will effect on fixed asset an depreciaition ?

Make purchase invoice against the Asset, it will book an amount into fixed account

Hi @amd,

I meant Is Existing Asset is checked if the asset is old and it’s purchase entry has already been booked. If you have not booked the amount for old asset then make journal entry manually. For new asset you have to make purchase invoice against the asset and system will auto booked the amount.
