Asset disposal proceeds must already be recorded to a current-liability disposal-clearing account. The disposal workflow selects that posted evidence and clears the balance without recording the cash receipt again.
Open Dispose asset and review Recorded sale proceeds. Select the source that belongs to this asset sale and compare its available amount with the supporting record. A similar bank receipt is not sufficient if it was not recorded to the required supported clearing source.
If no eligible proceeds appear, inspect the original sale recording and its account treatment with an authorized person. Do not create another receipt or enter an unsupported amount merely to make the disposal calculation work.
Review the displayed Recorded proceeds and Gain or Loss together with current posted depreciation. After preparing the disposal journal, inspect its source and accounts before posting. The retained disposal history should explain both the already-recorded proceeds and the removal of cost and accumulated depreciation, without suggesting that the disposal action itself collected money from the buyer.
