Confirm that an asset disposal journal was posted

Use the retained journal and disposal history rather than the preparation screen alone.

Updated 2026-11-11

Prepare disposal journal creates the supported source-linked request. It does not by itself establish that the disposal reached a posted state. Use Review journals to inspect the request and complete the action allowed by current posting access.

Check the disposal date, source proceeds, removed cost, accumulated depreciation and gain or loss. If the evidence changed or the journal was returned, resolve the specific issue before approving. Preserve the original purchase and prior depreciation history.

After a successful posting, refresh the asset detail and review Disposal history and its current status. The register intentionally distinguishes disposed assets from active net-book-value figures, so do not assume that a blank value means the acquisition record disappeared.

If the result is uncertain, establish the saved journal outcome before preparing another disposal. If the posted disposal is wrong, use Corrections and reversals in the required order. An unrelated manual journal or a second register entry would weaken the connection between the asset's original source and its correction history.
