Dispose of a fixed asset as scrap

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 4

Hi! 

I have a question, how can I scrap a fixed asset (dispose of a fixed asset as scrap) in NAV? Just for fixed assets that are no longer in use due to the fact that it is no longer in use or destroyed). I would really appriciate a step-by-step description if possible. 

Thanks in advance! 

Best regards,
Eva

    Eva,

    Since you are most likely integrated to the General Ledger and you are disposing of the Fixed Asset with no monetary gain, open the Fixed Asset G/L Journal.

    You will enter the Posting Date and FA Posting Date, the Fixed Asset to dispose, FA Posting Type = Disposal. I am guessing your Asset has 0.00 Net Book Value so the disposal will close out the Asset on the Balance Sheet with no Gain/(Loss) on Disposal. If their is residual value this will book the G/L Account on Disposal (Loss).

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks,

    Steve

    Check this one. Look at Disposing a Fixed Asset by Posting a Fixed Asset G/L Journal.
