  3. From the Account Type ▼ dropdown, tap Fixed Assets.
  4. From the Detail Type ▼ dropdown, select the option that closely describes the asset.
  5. Enter name of the account, then hit the Track depreciation of this asset checkbox.
  6. Enter the current value of your asset in the Original cost field and the as of date. If recording the loan, leave this blank.
