Dispose of or retire fixed assets

  • 아티클

When you sell or otherwise dispose of a fixed asset, you must post the disposal value to calculate and record the gain or loss. A disposal entry must be the last entry posted for a fixed asset. For partially disposed fixed assets, you can post more than one disposal entry. The total of all posted disposal amounts must be a credit amount.

Note

If you trade-in a fixed asset for another one, you must record both the sale of the old asset (disposal) and the purchase of the new one (acquisition). For more information, see Acquire Fixed Assets.

The following steps assume that your posting groups are set up on the FA Posting Groups page. For more information, see To set up fixed asset posting groups.

To post a disposal from the fixed asset G/L journal

  1. Choose the Lightbulb that opens the Tell Me feature. icon, enter Fixed Asset G/L Journals, and then choose the related link.

  2. Create an initial journal line and fill in the fields as necessary. Hover over a field to read a short description.

  3. In the FA Posting Type field, select Disposal.

  4. Choose the Insert FA Bal. Account action. A second journal line is created for the balancing account that is set up for disposal posting.

    Note

    Step 4 only works if you have set up the following: On the FA Posting Group Card page for the posting group of the fixed asset, the Disposal Account field contains the general ledger debit account and the Disposal Bal. Account field contains the general ledger account to which you want to post balancing entries for appreciation. For more information, see To set up fixed asset posting groups.

  5. Choose the Post action.

If you sell or dispose of part of a fixed asset, you must split up the asset before you can record the disposal transaction. For more information, see Transfer, Split, or Combine Fixed Assets.

To view disposal ledger entries

When you sell or dispose of a fixed asset, the disposal value is posted to the general ledger where you can view the result.

  1. Choose the Lightbulb that opens the Tell Me feature. icon, enter Fixed Assets, and then choose the related link.
  2. Select the fixed asset that you want to view entries for, and then choose the Depreciation Books action.
  3. Select the depreciation book that you want to view entries for, and then choose the Ledger Entries action.
  4. Select a line with Disposal in the FA Posting Category field, and then choose the Find Entries action.
  5. On the Find Entries page, select the general ledger entry line, and then choose the Show Related Entries action.

The General Ledger Entries page opens where you can see the entries that the disposal posting resulted in.
