Register fixed asset includes a Posted acquisition cost selector. It uses eligible posted ledger evidence, so an unposted draft or a charge recorded to an unrelated account will not necessarily appear as a usable acquisition source.
Choose the source that belongs to the specific asset and compare its available amount with the intended capitalized cost. Selecting the source prefills its available value, which still needs review before saving the register entry.
If the selector reports no unallocated posted fixed-asset debits, inspect the acquisition journal and its account subtype. Also determine whether the source was already allocated to an existing register entry. Do not post the same purchase again just to make a new selection appear.
Once the correct evidence is available, complete the schedule fields and account mappings. Retain a name that makes the asset identifiable and confirm the saved source after registration. The source link is what connects later depreciation and disposal review to the capitalized acquisition rather than to an unsupported standalone schedule.
