How do I write off a fixed asset in Business Central?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by
I am trying to write off a Fixed Asset that was disposed of for $0.  I have followed the Disposal process and created a Fixed Asset G/L journal.
 
I have used FA Posting Type - Disposal.  Because the asset was not sold by destroyed, I have entered $0 as the amount.
 
When attempting to post, I get the following error message.
 
Amount must have a value in Gen. Journal Line: Journal Template Name=ASSETS, Journal Batch Name=DEFAULT, Line No.=10000. It cannot be zero or empty.
 
If I use $0.01 then the transaction will post.  Apart from the $0.01 the values all calculate correctly.
 
Is there a setting that allows posting of zero value journals?
 
Is there another process I should be using.

    Hi,
     
    Have you by any chance entered a balance account for the FA G/L journal as there should not be one needed in this scenario?  These are the only settings that I have on my depreciation book and when I entered the journal it worked ok.
     
     
     
    This posted as expected and entries created.  
     
    Have you any modifications to this area could be something to check as well?
     
    Thanks,
    Shauna
