Dispose of a fixed asset as scrap

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 6

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

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

    Hi, select Disposal in FA Posting Type field on the FA G/L Journals page.

    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
