Quickbooks help requested

[Boogaloo]

I am trying to add purchases to Quickbooks that depreciate.

In other words, lets say I purchase a new computer system, or a lathe that I need to depreciate over time. How will I enter those items in Quickbooks to show the initial expense, but also flag them as items I can take depreciation on over several years?

Any Quickbooks guru's in here that can help a guy out?

Thanks
