Hello there, Bobby Chiggins.

Let me bring clarifications to your concern about entering fixed assets in QuickBooks Desktop.

When you enter two fixed asset type accounts as sub accounts using one parent account, you'll need to create a separate Fixed Asset Item for each of these sub accounts in QuickBooks.

Also, filling in the Fixed Asset Item List is highly recommended for it contains a detailed information that you may need for future tracking purposes.

Lastly, there shouldn't be any problem if you enter these assets in both Chart of Accounts and Fixed Asset Item List as long as you choose the correct Asset Account used in both places.

If there's anything else I can further help, please let me know. It's always my pleasure to assist.
