# Dispose of an asset

Last modified February 19, 2026

> If you need to dispose of one asset, you generally use the Fixed assets (FA303000) window.


For more information: [Fixed assets (FA303000)](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/fixed-assets/fixed-asset-windows/fixed-assets-fa303000/index.md).

> [!NOTE]
> Alternatively, you can use the [Asset summary (FA402000)](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/fixed-assets/fixed-asset-windows/asset-summary-fa402000/index.md) window to dispose of an asset.

1. Go to the [Fixed assets (FA303000)](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/fixed-assets/fixed-asset-windows/fixed-assets-fa303000/index.md) window.
1. In the **Asset ID** field, select the fixed asset that you want to dispose of.
1. Select **Actions**, and then click **Dispose**.
1. In the **Disposal parameters** dialog box, enter the disposal parameters:

    1. In the **Disposal date** field, enter the date of the disposal.

        By default, the system uses the current business date.
    1. In the **Disposal period** field, enter the financial period of the disposal.

        By default, the system uses the current financial period.
    1. Optional: In the **Proceeds amount** field, type the proceeds amount that is gained as a result of the disposal.
    1. In the **Disposal method** field, select the disposal method.
    1. In the **Proceeds account** field, enter the account to post proceeds from the disposal of the asset.

        By default, the system uses the proceeds account specified for the asset.
    1. In the **Proceeds sub** field, enter the subaccount to post proceeds from the disposal of the asset.

        By default, the system uses the proceeds subaccount specified for the asset.
    1. If you want to depreciate the asset up to the disposal period (in the current financial period), select the **Depreciate before disposal** check box.

        > [!NOTE]
        > The system can depreciate the asset automatically during disposal only if system is configured to release all transactions automatically. You can change the settings for release of transactions in the [Fixed assets preferences (FA101000)](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/fixed-assets/fixed-asset-windows/fixed-assets-preferences-fa101000/index.md) window. Otherwise, you need to manually depreciate the asset before disposal.
    1. Optional: In the **Reason** field, type the reason for disposal.
1. Click **OK** to dispose of the asset and close the dialog box.
1. Release the resulting transactions as directed by your company's workflow. [Release multiple fixed asset transactions](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/fixed-assets/daily-routines/release-multiple-fixed-asset-transactions/index.md)

    For more information, see:

The status of the disposed asset is changed from **Active** to **Disposed**.

After asset disposal, the system automatically displays the following information on
the **General settings** tab of the [Fixed assets (FA303000)](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/fixed-assets/fixed-asset-windows/fixed-assets-fa303000/index.md) window: the date of disposal, the disposal method, and the proceeds amount from the
disposal of the asset.
