My client purchased a laptop for £1000 at the start of their business. Do I post the invoice directly to Fixed Assets (I have created a nominal account for it)? How do I record the depreciation at the end of the tax year?

just a quick question regarding postage nominal codes. Which Sage code? I have been putting postage for items sold under 5100 as postage is free and a cost of sale is this right? Or should it be going under 7501?
