HI All , 
In the case of an asset sale disposal, the outcome can either be a gain or a loss. However, in the posting profiles, I can only configure a single ledger account, regardless of whether the result is a gain or a loss. How can I configure two different accounts so that the system uses the loss account when there is a loss, and the gain account when there is a gain?
Thank you ,

    Hi,
     
    In Dynamics 365 Finance, you can set up General ledger posting accounts to handle asset disposals separately for gains and losses. Here's how you can configure it:
    1. Navigate to Fixed Assets Posting Profiles:
      • Go to Fixed assets > Setup > Fixed assets posting profiles.
      • Select Disposal - sale and Disposal - scrap in the Ledger accounts FastTab.
    2. Define Separate Accounts for Gains and Losses:
      • When setting up the disposal transaction, the ledger account is credited for the disposal value of the fixed asset.
      • The debit is posted to an offset account, which could be a bank account or a customer account (if sold to a customer).
      • You can specify different accounts for gains and losses by configuring the Post value and Sales value type fields on the Disposal parameters page.
