Receiving Assets in System (Post-PO Delivery)
Once PO is issued & advance payment made, the vendor delivers the assets. Now you must record the receipt in the system.
✅ Two Ways to Receive Assets
Directly from PO screen
Go to Purchase Order → Edit (Approved PO).
You will see Next Action buttons.
Click Create Item Receipt (Green button).
From Item Receipt Module (if available)
Can also create a receipt directly and link to the PO.
✅ Process of Receiving
System Auto-Fills Details
Vendor, PO number, Asset, Qty, Price → auto-filled from PO.
Select Receipt Date
Example: Goods received on 20th August → change date if needed.
Check “Issue Stock”
Ensure Issue Stock = No (for assets, it should remain No).
Enter Received Quantity
If full delivery → receive all (e.g., 5 laptops).
If partial delivery → receive partial (e.g., 2 now, 3 later).
Click Add → Confirm Receipt
✅ What Happens in System After Receipt
Ledger Posting
Debit: Asset Account (e.g., 15300 – Office Equipment).
Credit: Purchase Expense Clearing Ledger (depending on setup).
Stock/Asset Movement
Assets are moved from “Pending (PO)” → “Available in Asset Register”.
Asset Creation (Automatic)
Each unit is treated as a unique asset.
Example:
Asset Master originally had “Lenovo Laptop” with Qty = 0.
After receipt of 2 units:
System auto-generates Asset Codes → e.g., FA-00439 & FA-00440.
✅ Asset Details Auto-Updated
Purchase Cost pulled from PO.
Depreciation Start Date = Month of purchase (e.g., August 2025).
Useful Life & Depreciation Schedule auto-applied (e.g., 5 years → till July 2030).
? Result: Assets are now officially in the register with cost, code, and depreciation rules ready.
