  • Enter the amount of the sale exclusive of sales taxes.

  • If taxes are applicable, enter the tax zone and the tax type.

  • Press SELL ASSET.

A ledger series transaction will be posted with the following transactions:

  • Debit – bank account

  • Credit – fixed asset account

  • Credit – tax account (if applicable)

  • Debit - accumulated depreciation

  • Debit or credit – Gain/loss on sale account will depend on whether it was a gain or loss over the book value.
