- If used for renovation/extension/improvement of factory building: - Record under Fixed Assets → Factory Building (or "Building Renovation/Improvement" sub-head). - It is not treated as raw material or consumable expense, because it directly relates to the structure of the building. - If used for minor repairs/maintenance (not increasing life or capacity): - Record under Repairs & Maintenance Expense → Factory Building Repairs.

Expense vs. Capitalization - Capitalize (Add to Asset Value) when: - Bricks are used for structural renovation, extension, or improvement of the building. - The renovation increases the future economic benefits (e.g., longer useful life, increased capacity, or efficiency). - Example: Constructing a new wall, strengthening foundations, extending the building. - Expense (Charge to P&L) when: - Bricks are used for routine repairs or maintenance. - The work only restores the building to its original condition without enhancing its future benefits. - Example: Replacing a few damaged bricks in existing walls.
