Permission to sell

Permission to sell functionality extends basic disposal by sale functionality for users in legal entities in Poland with two additional parameters:

• Check whether asset can be sold – Use this check box to activate an additional filter on the lookup field when selecting a fixed asset to be sold in a free text invoice or a journal line. The additional filter affects transactions with type Disposal - sale only. To edit the Check whether asset can be sold field, open the Sale FastTab on the Fixed assets > Setup > Fixed assets parameters page.
• Permission to sell fixed asset – Use this check box to select whether an individual parameter for each fixed asset can be sold. To edit this field, open the Reference and notes FastTab for the selected fixed asset.

Sales account for fixed assets disposal

When a sales disposal transaction is created using a fixed asset journal or general journal in General ledger, a sales account defaults to the journal line from the setup on the Fixed asset posting profiles page. When a sales disposal transaction is created using a free text invoice, a user should fill in the Main account field with a sales account. Sales account for fixed assets disposal functionality lets users in legal entities in Poland set up a ledger account which will be taken as a sales account for sales disposal transaction created using a Free text invoice, by default. To set up a sales account for fixed assets disposal, open the Sale FastTab on the Fixed assets > Setup > Fixed assets parameters page.

Partial sales of fixed assets

A sale or scrap disposal of a fixed asset allows disposal of an entire fixed asset only. Partial sales of fixed assets functionality allows users in legal entities in Poland to dispose partially of a fixed asset through both sale or scrap types of transactions. Partial sale of fixed assets is available through a free text invoice, fixed asset journal or general journal in General ledger. To partially dispose a fixed asset, enter a percentage (an integer between 0 and 100) in the Partial sales field in one of the following locations:

• General tab on the Fixed asset journal line.
• Fixed assets tab on the General journal line.
• General tab on the Free text invoice line.

By default, the Partial sales field value is 100. When a user selects the Disposal scrap or Disposal sale transaction type and an asset in a journal, the net book value will default on the journal line. If the user changes the percentage, the net book value on the journal line is reduced. The user can also manually change the net book value, after which the percentage in the Partial sales field will be recalculated. Example A fixed asset has been acquired at USD 10.000, depreciation USD 1.000, net book value USD 9.000. First partial sale 50% - net book value calculated for the journal line is 50% of USD 9.000 = USD 4.500. Second partial sale 50% - net book value calculated for the journal line is 50% of the remaining net book value USD 4.500 = USD 2.250. If a user wants to expense the remaining net book value of USD 2.250, they must enter a percentage of 100 on a journal or a free text invoice line.
