I'm curious as to how other companies handle the costs associated with small item fixed assets. Do they go directly to an asset account in the G/L or are they put in a CIP account and moved over to a fixed asset account once all costs are accumulated with an asset? I'd appreciate hearing from folks about what their companies are doing. Thanks!
What I do is accumulate the costs in a CIP account then move over to fixed asset account once the construction of the asset is substantially complete and placed into service. Hope that helps...
