Disposing of an Asset
Whether an asset is lost, destroyed, sold, or entered by mistake, we recommend that you dispose of the asset instead of deleting it or canceling it. You can dispose of an asset if its status is "New", "Approved", or "Active".
Disposing of a Single Fixed Asset
To dispose of a single asset:
- Click the Fixed Assets tab.
- Search for the fixed asset that you want to dispose of.
- Click the name of the fixed asset that you want to dispose of.
- If you have not already done so, specify the additional asset disposal information:
- Click Edit.
- [Optional] Select the reason the asset was disposed of from the Method of Disposal drop-down list.
- Enter the date on which the asset was disposed of in the Disposal Date field.
- Enter the amount the asset was sold, salvaged or transferred for in the Disposal Value field.
- [Optional] Complete the remaining Asset Disposal fields. See Asset Disposal.
- Click Save.
- Click Dispose.
- Click Yes.
Disposing of Multiple Fixed Assets
To dispose of multiple fixed assets:
- Click the Fixed Assets tab.
- Choose a view from the drop-down list to select the records to display.
- Select the checkboxes of the assets that you want to dispose of.
- Click Dispose. The Fixed Asset Mass Disposal page lists the assets that can be disposed of and identifies any assets that are not eligible for disposal. If this button is not available, contact your administrator, or see the Salesforce Help for more information about adding buttons to list views.
- Click Dispose.
