FAQ

Disposal questions, answered.

Can we dispose of only part of an asset?

Yes. Enter a percentage from 0.01% to 99.99%. Cost and accumulated depreciation are reduced in proportion, and the rest keeps depreciating.

Can disposals require approval?

Yes. Requests can go through a review queue where they are approved or rejected.

Can we report total gains and losses?

Yes. The gain and loss report can be filtered by type and date, and exported to CSV.
