Dispose of a Fixed Asset

This screen allows you to financially close an asset by writing off all its units and removing it from active use.

How to Access

  • From the main menu, click General Accounting.
  • Click Assets.
  • Open the asset you want to view.
  • From the asset view screen, click Dispose.

Steps to Dispose of an Asset

  • From the asset view screen, click Dispose.
  • Select the account where the disposal value will be recorded.
  • The system displays a read-only table of asset units, including the following columns:
    • Serial Number
    • Barcode
    • Description
    • Custody Type
    • Assigned To
    • Status
  • If any unit is in Assigned or Under Maintenance status, a warning will appear:
    Assigned or under-maintenance units will be automatically unassigned before disposal.
  • Click Save to complete the disposal process.

Disposal Rules

  • All units must be disposed of together — partial disposal is not allowed.
  • Units can be disposed of regardless of their status, except units marked as Sold — these remain unchanged.
  • Upon confirmation:
    • All eligible units are marked as Written-off in the accounting asset.
    • Any assignments to employees or storage locations are automatically removed.

Notes

  • The disposal transaction is recorded in both the Asset Movement Log and the Activity Log in:
    • The Accounting Assets module
    • The Employee Assets module
