What is the purpose for the Post Disposal to G/L check box on the Manage Asset Master Information screen?
This check box is available only if you have specified that the asset record is Non-Depreciable in the Depr Status group box.
Selecting this check box allows a future disposal entry for the record to be posted to the General Ledger. In the case of non-depreciable assets (for example, land), the G/L entry on disposal can consist only of debits and credits, as appropriate, to the Cost and Gain/Loss on Sale of Fixed Assets accounts, because there is no accumulated depreciation associated with a non-depreciable asset. This field is not available for depreciable assets, because disposal entries can always be posted to the General Ledger for depreciable assets for the G/L Book.
