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.
