Prepaid Expenses Accounting for Tools

Dear Friends,
Usually we will account Insurance as a prepaid expenses for 12 months. Now, we procured tools for machines and its cost is about 1.5Lakh. Is there any provisions for accounting this expenses under prepaid tools for machines? as per INDAS ?

Quick Summary
This discussion explores how to account for the cost of machine tools, particularly when they are procured for multiple machines and include consumables. The consensus leans towards treating tools as capital items, with capitalization thresholds based on a percentage of company revenue. Consumables, however, are generally not considered capital items. The conversation also touches upon the concept of prepaid expenses, drawing parallels with prepaid insurance, and the application of accrual and prudent accounting concepts.

Provisioning in accounts is a general phenomenon

You need to provide for expenses as per prudent accounting concept and " ACCRUAL CONCEPT".
Thanks Sabyasachi Bhai. We procured tools for multiple machines for Rs 100000 on Aug. If we account this value in Aug and our PL will impact. So, shall we account this amount under prepaid and monthly will be accounted 10K for 12 months. For prepaid insurance particular period is mentioned in the policy. But, what about Tools for machines? We account 12 months or need to close within this FY?
Tools are basically a capital item.
But individually an item should be more than 1% of the revenue of the company. Then it should be capitalized.

Actually it includes tools and consumables for multiple machines. So, we can't account this costs for particular machines
Consumables are not capital item.
