Reversing fixed asset transactions for India

  • Article

You can reverse a fixed asset transaction, reverse taxes for the transaction, and update general ledger accounts. Information about the updates to an asset are displayed in the Books > Balances page for the selected asset.

You can reverse fixed asset acquisitions or acquisition adjustment transactions with the tax that is calculated. The posted tax should also be reversed along with the fixed asset transaction reversal.

  3. Click Transactions to open the Fixed asset transactions page.
  4. Select the transaction that is posted for the acquisition to activate the reverse transaction.
  5. Click Reverse transaction to open the Transaction reversal page.
  6. Enter the Reversal posting date.
  7. Click OK to reverse the transactions.
