If you sell or dispose of part of a fixed asset, you must split up the asset before you can record the disposal transaction.
The following procedure uses the numbers from the following example: A segment of a computer is sold for 500. This segment represents 1/4 of the market value.
You must reclassify the asset into two assets: one asset having an acquisition cost of 1/4 of the total acquisition cost and depreciation amount, and the other one having 3/4 of the total acquisition cost and depreciation amount.
To post partial disposals
Create a fixed asset card for a new fixed asset.
Set up an FA depreciation book in which you attach a depreciation book to this asset.
In the Search box, enter FA Reclass. Journals, and then choose the related link.
Fill in a journal line to move 25% of the old asset to the new asset.
On the Home tab, choose Reclassify.
Close the window.
Microsoft Dynamics NAV creates the necessary lines in the FA G/L journal using the template and batch that you specified in the FA Journal Setup window for the selected depreciation book.
In the Search box, enter FA G/L Journals, and then choose the related link to open the Fixed Asset G/L Journal window.
Post the journal.

| If you set up all the balancing accounts in the FA Posting Group Card window, you can set up Microsoft Dynamics NAV to insert the balancing lines automatically in the FA G/L journal. To do this, on the Actions tab, in the Functions group, choose Insert FA Bal. Account. |
