6. Describe the Asset in Additionally Detail (Optional)

The Asset Information area at the end of the New Item window provides further text boxes that we can use to describe the asset. The area provides a enormous field in which to place a extended asset description, for example. We also have fields we can use to identify the asset location, the primary purchase order (PO) number, the asset’s serial number, & the warranty expiration date.

If these fields are not adequate, heck, QuickBooks even supplies a Notes area that we can use to write a small ode to your asset or record some other bit of relevant asset information.

7. Save the Asset Item Description

Click OK to save the advanced asset item description & close the New Item window all together. There is one more option like select the Next option to save the new asset item description however, leave the New Item window showed.

Adding Fixed Asset Items on the Fly

We can add items to the Fixed Asset list, as mentioned in the above paragraphs. On the other hand, we can add an item to the Fixed Asset list whenever we record the bill that records the seller invoice for the asset or when we record the check that pays the vendor invoice for the asset.

Let’s understand that how it works: If we have been told QuickBooks that we need to maintain a Fixed Asset list, then you need not to worry about it. Being the most advanced platform, QuickBooks has the function to make an addition to a fixed asset item that is already categorized. It can be a debit transaction or a fixed asset account while entering a bill or recording a check.
