Book Value must not be negative or less than Salvage Value on

Trying to post both an addition and a disposal on a purchase invoice. We're buying an item but sending an older one as a part-exchange. Won't let me post the invoice due to this error. Is what I'm trying to do possible in one go or two separate invoices would be required?

    Some weird error is preventing me from editing the post, to give some more context as the screenshot functionality doesn't work either, the fixed asset quantity for the disposal is set as -1 in the draft invoice, and that's what I believe is causing the error. Setting it as 1 would obviously count as an addition so not sure what to do, thanks.

    Hi,
    firstly of course You should check the FA XX current book value on 1st of April 2024 :)

    Do You do the addition and disposal of the same Fixed Asset in one invoice? By the accounting rules it cannot be done, as for addition it would be Purchase Invoice, but for disposal it would be sales invoice or write-down document. 

    I assume that the addition is for one Fixed Asset, and Disposal is of another fixed asset, or You are putting everything on one FA card?

    you need to handle this using FA journal first to dispose of the old part. then create a new fixed asset for the new part via purchase invoice.
