Accounting for Manual additions
Hi,
Asset clearing account is just a place holder till asset is posted and its value shall becomes zero after it an Asset is posted.
A) If I am importing an asset,building, related payable transaction from AP to FA
In AP its accounting is
Dr to Asset Clearing account
Cr to Payable liability
After running mass additions and posting it in FA its account changes to
Dr to Asset Cost account
Cr to Asset clearing account
The net of Dr and Cr entries for Asset Clearing account becomes zero finally it is Dr to Asset Cost account and Cr to Payable Liability account and Dr to Depreciation expense and Cr to Accumulated Depreciation
