About fixed asset reversal
In Visma Net, if a fixed asset has released transactions associated with it, you cannot delete this
asset from the system.
In this case, you can reverse the transactions and then annul the
asset.
For example, suppose that you have created a new asset by converting a purchase to a fixed
asset.
Then you have realised that the wrong receipt date is specified in the fixed asset
record.
This date cannot be edited because the corresponding transactions (Purchasing
+ and Reconciliation + ) have already been released. For more information, see: About types of fixed asset transactions
In this case, you can annul this asset and again
convert a purchase to a fixed asset with the correct settings.
You annul the asset by using the reverse procedure.
When you invoke this procedure, all
transactions associated with the fixed asset are reversed in the corresponding book in which
the original transactions are posted, and the asset gets the Reversed status.
For
transactions recorded in the non-posting book, the reversal transactions are posted to the
same financial period as the period of the original transactions.
For transactions recorded
in the posting book in the book that updates general ledger or the
reversal transactions are posted to the period of the original transactions only if this
period is open; if the period of the original transactions is closed, the reversal
transactions are posted to the nearest open financial period.
To reverse a fixed asset, in the Fixed assets (FA303000) window, you need to select the required fixed asset in the Asset ID field, and click Reverse in the Actions menu on the toolbar.
Reversal of an asset yields the following results:
- Reversal transactions are generated for all original fixed asset transactions in the corresponding fixed asset book.
- The annulled asset is displayed as Reversed on reports, with the depreciable basis and the amount of accumulated depreciation equal to zero.
The status of the asset at the moment of the reversal must be Active. The reversed asset cannot be deleted or edited.
