You do not need to document the asset that has not been depreciated.

Your Asset account balance will show the cost of the asset and you will have a contra asset account that will show the accumnulated depreciation of the asset.

On the balance sheet of some companies will show the net balance of the asset. The cost of the asset minus accumulated depreciation.
