Sell, dispose, and write-off assets (Russia)

Fixed asset disposal

You can dispose of fixed assets for any of the following reasons:

  • An asset is sold to other legal entities or private individuals.
  • An asset is transferred and used as a deposit in joint activities or as charter capital.
  • An asset is donated or used as another type of non-compensated transfer.
  • An asset is liquidated because of an accident or natural disaster.
  • An asset is exchanged through an exchange agreement.

There are three ways to create a disposal transaction:

  • Leaving (sale) – This transaction represents a fixed asset sale and can be entered in Accounts receivable or in the fixed assets journal. Several transactions are created in the ledger, based on the posting profile configuration. The status of the asset changes to Written off (sale).

  • Leaving (dismantlement) – This transaction is entered in the fixed assets journal. Transactions are created in the ledger, and the remaining value of the asset after it has been dismantled is transferred to the inventory. The status of the asset changes to Written off (dismantlement).

  • Fixed Assets write-off – This transaction is entered in the fixed assets journal, and the write-off transactions for the booked value and booked depreciation for the asset are created. The status of the asset changes to Written off

Note

When you create a transaction for the partial write-off or disposal of a fixed asset, if the transaction accrues a loss, the transaction details are posted to a deferral account. This account contains the values of the calculated loss and the write-off time. The write-off time is calculated by using the fixed asset depreciation factor and the difference between the useful life of the depreciated asset and the actual period that the asset is used before its disposal. For more information, see Set up the automatic creation of a deferrals account.

You can record the sale of fixed assets in Fixed assets, or you can create a sales order or a free text invoice in Accounts receivable. When you sell a fixed asset, you must calculate its depreciation during that period.

Before creating a sales order, you should create a released product with a Service or Item product type. When you select an item with the Service product type in the sales order line, you can enter several fixed assets, related with one sales order line. When you select an item with the Item product type in the sales order line, you can only enter one fixed asset. This fixed asset needs to be related to the sales order line.

The status of an asset that is sold under a sales order or free text invoice is Sold (waiting for posting), until the transaction is posted. After posting, the status of the asset is Written off (sale).

Note

You must set up posting profiles before you can create transactions for the sale of fixed assets.

If the invoice expenses are included in the sales order header when you sell a fixed asset or inventory asset, the sum of these miscellaneous charges is not included in the profit or loss from the sale.

However, if the invoice expenses are included in the order line that corresponds to the asset, the charges are considered when the profit or loss is calculated from the sale.
