How to record a fixed asset that is stolen

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 20

Hi, may I ask for your help on how to record a fixed asset that is stolen?

In accounting books I would use a journal:

Dr. loss on asset $10

Dr. accumulated depreciation $90

Cr. asset at cost $100

However in BC, I need to type an amount for the "process on disposal" and it can't be zero. In this case it is zero as the asset was stolen. So I am struggle to think how am I document this stolen FA.

Thank you.

    To add to ZHU's post....

    By entering your asset in an FA GL Journal with a Disposal type and zero dollars, when you post then system will create the asset, debit accum. depr and take the difference to gain/loss account. Nothing else to do!

    Hi, I'm sorry I'm not a professional accountant.

    Can you do the disposal from the fixed asset G/L journal first and then adjust the accounts in General Journal?
