Disposal of Fixed Assets
Disposal of Fixed
Assets
Disposal is performed after you have calculated depreciation and established the
current value that was written-off and the carrying value of the fixed asset.
In case upward or rather downward revaluation has been posted for the fixed
asset it is necessary to post also the
reversal of upward revaluation or
reversal of downward revaluation of the fixed
asset.
To this end you can select from the right mouse click menu
of the fixed asset register the
Disposal of fixed assets function.
Procedure:
- you calculate depreciation to the day you are entitled to perdorm
calculation
- from the right mouse click menu you select the Disposal of fixed assets
option
- you select (mark) those fixed assets thtat you want to dispose of, and
then you enter the deactivation date (this is ususally the same day as the
last date of disposal) and click the Dispose
button.
With it you create the necessary status items as well as the journal entry
for posting.

Validation of the possible missing account settings returns
a message in the error panel.

have the entered date of disposal and/or deactivation.

If the record that you want to dispose of is NOT on the list
