17 September 2012 You can record a cost as a fixed asset when it has a future economic benefit that extends beyond one year from the date of acquisition e.g. a car, a computer, a plant /machinery, building, furniture etc. A part of the machinery which is meant for the repairs purposes wihout changing its economic benefits should be treated as inventory of spares and expensed as maintenance items when it is consumded. Depending the materiality of the item, it may be expensed on purchase itself.

Trust this helps. Happy to take further queries if required.
