2. Financial Record Updates: Upon disposal, the module automatically updates the General Ledger by removing the cost of the asset, accumulated depreciation, and impairment losses from the balance sheet.

3. Disposal Gain/Loss Recognition: Users can record any resulting gain or loss from the disposal process, ensuring accurate financial reporting and income statement adjustments.

4. Depreciation Adjustment: The module provides options to adjust depreciation for the current financial year based on the disposal date, maintaining consistency in financial records.

Use Cases:

1. Optimizing Asset Utilization:

   Scenario: A manufacturing company decides to dispose of outdated machinery and equipment to upgrade to more efficient models. The Dispose Fixed Asset module enables the company to record the disposal details accurately, including sale proceeds, depreciation adjustments, and gain or loss recognition. This process helps in optimizing asset utilization, improving operational efficiency, and maintaining financial transparency.

2. Managing Asset Retirement:

   Scenario: A retail chain retires several store fixtures and equipment due to store renovations. Using the Dispose Fixed Asset module, the chain efficiently records the disposal of assets, tracks sale proceeds, and adjusts depreciation for accurate financial reporting. This streamlines asset retirement processes, reduces accounting complexities, and enhances overall asset management practices.
