Recording a fixed asset in QuickBooks Online (QBO) is easy, and I'm here to show you how, @simonshah.
You'll first have to create an asset account to track the current value and depreciation of your computer or the things that your company owns (i.e., land, vehicles, buildings, and machinery and equipment). Here's how:
Once you're done, you can record your computer's depreciation. QBO doesn't automatically depreciate fixed assets. You need to manually track it using journal entries instead.
With that being said, I'd recommend working with your accountant who knows the best methods for recording the depreciation of your assets. They'll also guide you with the appropriate account to use in managing your bank payment to the vendor.
For your complete guide in recording the depreciation of your purchased computer, please see this article: Depreciate assets in QuickBooks Online.
Also, to further guide you in managing your assets and the growth of your business using QBO, I'd recommend checking out one of our Help pages: QuickBooks Support. It includes topics about account management, banking, and expenses, to name a few. Click the + More topics button to view other selections.

As another option, consider having a 3rd party depreciation app to integrate with your QBO. It records your fixed assets when you purchase them and records journal entries automatically in your QBO referring to your settings. It costs GBP 15 peer month per QBO account.
I have realised that you can only find the tick box when you create a new Tangible Asset it doesn't apply to an existing empty one which seems a bit odd when you've never used it. It means yo uhave to create a new one and get rid of the old one standard one that QB created when we set the company up.
