Fixed asset disposal via sales Order/ invoice

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 90

Good day folks,

I am trying to dispose an asset that I have completely depreciated via a sales order. As such, I am facing the following issue where I can set the type to fixed asset, but when i select the fixed asset card it shows an error as shown:

Also another question, how are the gen. bus and prod posting group determined? Is there a way to set it to blank?

Thank you.

    Sales Order wise I would check the fixed asset posting group setup for the disposal accounts. Journal wise you can have the business posting group blank to indicate it’s an internal transaction. The product still needs a value. The current “MISC” has good contextual sense. The combination itself needs to be valid. In the general posting setup ensure you have a row for the mention values.

    ZJ,

    Adding to Josh's reply...

    You can create a sales invoice by selecting the type of the fixed asset on the line. This lets you invoice an asset to a customer. The disposal of a fixed asset through a sales invoice or sales order works in the same manner as the disposal through a FA G/L journal. Let me walk thru the steps of Disposing a Whole Fixed Asset from a Sales Invoice:

    1. Go to a Sales Invoice.

    2. Click New to create a new sales invoice.

    3. Press ENTER to have the program fill in the invoice number automatically.

    4. In the Sell-to-Customer No. field, enter your Customer.

    5. In the Posting Date and Document Date fields, enter your dates.

    6. When you receive a warning about a Credit Limit check, click Yes, if this is active.

    7. On the Lines FastTab, click the Type field, and then select Fixed Asset.

    8. Select the No. field, and then select the asset.

    9. Type “1” in the Quantity field. No more than one asset for each sales line can be sold.

    10. In the Unit Price Excl. VAT field, enter the net sales price.

    11. MAKE SURE you have the column 'Depr. until FA Posting Date' visible. Add if missing. When visible, check box.

    12. Open Sales Invoice Statistic to view the sales statistics for this invoice.

    13. Click OK to close the Sales Invoice Statistics window.

    14. Click Post, to post the invoice.

    NOTE: Make sure any Dimensions you want set are entered before posting.

    NOTE: Before performing a Disposal, make sure that in the FA Posting Groups window, for the related posting group(s), you set up all your Disposal Account columns. To open the FA Posting Groups window, in the search box, enter FA Posting Groups.

    Hi steve, my setup is exactly the same like yours, and I still am unable to do it. My error starts when i select the fixed asset no.

    Not sure why..

    Could it be that my item is fully depreciated?

    Hello,

    Here is my test in Cronus.

    pastedimage1621501939525v1.png and the Asset looks like this: pastedimage1621501975329v2.png

    My Depreciation Book looks like this:

    pastedimage1621502036478v3.png 

    Check your Fixed Asset Card and Depreciation Book and see what yours looks like. Send copies back if you cannot see an issue and I can test the Asset image in my SANDBOX.

    Thanks,

    Steve
