accumulated depreciation amount and the last depreciation period.
1. Go to the [Fixed assets preferences (FA101000)](/visma-net-erp/help/fixed-assets/fixed-asset-windows/fixed-assets-preferences-fa101000/) window.
1. In the **Posting settings** section, clear the **Update general ledger** check box to turn on initialisation mode for the Fixed assets workspace.

1. In the **Receipt date** field, enter the date of the purchase.
1. Make sure the **Depreciate** check box is selected.

1. In the **Orig. acquisition cost** field, enter the original cost of acquiring the asset.
The original acquisition cost is used as the basis for depreciation of the asset.
> [!CAUTION]
> After you save the asset for the first time, you won't be able to change the depreciation basis, even if you change the original acquisition cost.
