Quick answer: Item details explain where a value came from and when the asset was acquired and ready for use.
Before you begin #
Have receipts or other cost records where available, plus acquisition and service dates.
Steps #
- Open the item details and confirm quantity.
- Review the tax-basis and replacement-value fields separately. Enter values in the correct field.
- Record the available source and condition information. Identify estimated amounts honestly.
- Review asset-vintage, acquisition, and ready-and-available dates, then save.

Check before continuing #
Section verification does not convert an estimate into a receipt-supported cost. Make missing source documents visible.
If you get stuck #
If a cost or date is unknown, do not invent precision. Keep the uncertainty visible for review and ask what support is needed.
