  Key Concepts: 
  Capitalization in SAP Business One (SBO) is the process of recording the cost of an asset as an expense over its useful life. This is done by allocating the cost of the asset to different accounting periods, rather than recording it as a single expense in the period it was purchased. This allows businesses to spread out the cost of an asset over its useful life, rather than having to pay for it all at once.
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to capitalize an asset in SAP Business One, you must first enter the asset into the system. This can be done by entering the asset's details into the Asset Master Data form.
