Hi..
My client has made some capital import purchases. They have been shipped to India by sea through a transporter agent. Now a problem arises as to which date should be taken to capitalize the asset- the bill of entry date as passed by the customs department or the GRN date generated at the company's factory or the invoice date sent by the supplier. Also which one of the above dates should be taken as the base to fix the exchange rate in order to capitalize the above asset??
Pls help
