Result
You have created a new asset master record. At this point the asset has no value and is not reflected in the balance sheet. To capitalize the asset, you can either post value directly using the journal entry/complex posting option or you can purchase the asset externally, with a purchase order.
If you post value directly, you must use a posting key of '70', debit your asset master account (i.e. 30002) using a transaction code of 100.
If you acquire the asset via a purchase order, the purchase order account assignment category must be set to 'A' and the system will prompt you for the asset master account (i.e. 30002). The asset will be capitalized upon goods receipt.
