To continue adding your asset using the Detail Additions process, you must assign your new asset to an employee, depreciation expense account, and location in the Assignments window. You can manually enter the distribution(s), or choose a predefined distribution set to automatically assign the appropriate distribution(s) to the asset.

Optionally enter purchasing information for the new asset in the Source Lines window.
Enter financial information in the Books window. See: Entering Financial Information (Detail Additions Continued).
Note: Choose a predefined distribution set from the Distribution Set poplist to automatically assign the appropriate distribution(s) to your new asset.
Optionally enter the Employee Name or Number of the person responsible for the asset.
