Quick Summary
When purchasing a fixed asset, all associated expenses such as installation wages and transportation costs should be capitalised. This means these costs are added directly to the value of the asset (Property, Plant, and Equipment - PPE) rather than being treated as separate expenses. You can either debit the expenses directly to the asset account or use a temporary wages account before transferring the balance to the asset account.

Yes.All incidental expenses shall be added to cost of PPE
All expenses incurred incidental to bringing the asset to its working condition has to be capitalized. So it's put to use.This is as per ICAI GUIDELINES AND ACCOUNTING STANDARD.
