Manage Disposal Types

Use this screen to define disposal type codes and descriptions (such as "Scrapped", "Obsolete", "Stolen", and so on) to optionally link with your asset records when you enter disposal data.

If you plan to assign disposal type codes, you must first set up disposal type code data on this screen. Because this data is optional, you can add disposal type codes as one of the first steps in the initialization process, before you begin to enter disposal data manually or for posting, or at any time thereafter.

Use caution in the timing of your edits to this screen, which may affect the types of records included in system reports.

Note: The setup data on this screen is effective across all companies and is not company-specific. If you have set up multiple companies in Costpoint, all companies can enter, view, and use the data on this screen.

If you have multiple companies and you need disposal type codes that are specific to one company that should not be used by other companies, you should create the special-purpose disposal types along with those codes that will be used by all companies. Because this is a "Corporate" table for use by all companies and the system cannot therefore enforce company-specific rules, you should establish specific internal control procedures on the use of disposal type codes.
