Review the Asset Disposals List
When you dispose of an asset — sell it, scrap it, lose it, donate it, or retire it — Rentablez records the event and works out whether you made a gain or a loss on the way out. The Asset Disposals page is the running history of all of those events, so you (and your accountant) can see at a glance what left the fleet, when, for how much, and what it was worth on the books at the time.
This page is read-only. To actually dispose of an asset, you do that from the Depreciation Register — see Dispose an Asset & Track Gain/Loss.
Opening the Disposals List
Go to Asset Disposals (route /asset-disposals). You’ll see a table with one row per disposed asset, most recent first.
Viewing this page requires the Asset Depreciation — Read (
asset_depreciation.read) permission. If you can’t see it, ask an admin to grant that permission on your role.
Reading the Table
Each row summarizes a single disposal:
| Column | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Asset | The asset name, with its asset tag underneath so you can tell individual units apart. |
| Type | How the asset left service — Sold, Scrapped, Lost, Donated, or Retired — shown as a colored tag. |
| Date | The disposal date. |
| Sale proceeds | What you received for it (0 for non-sale disposals). |
| Disposal costs | Any costs of disposing of it — removal, fees, and the like. |
| Book value | The asset’s book value at the moment it was disposed. |
| Gain / Loss | The result of the disposal, shown in green for a gain and red for a loss. |
| Customer | The buyer, when the asset was sold. Shows a dash otherwise. |
| Notes | Any note captured at disposal time. |
How Gain or Loss Is Calculated
The Gain / Loss column is computed for you:
Gain/Loss = Sale proceeds − Disposal costs − Book value at disposal
A positive number (green, with a +) means you came out ahead of the asset’s remaining book value. A negative number (red) means the disposal was a loss against the books. For a scrapped, lost, donated, or retired asset with no proceeds, the loss is simply whatever book value was still on the asset minus any disposal costs.
Filtering and Searching
To narrow the list:
- Use the type filter chips across the top — All, Sold, Scrapped, Lost, Donated, Retired — to show only one kind of disposal. All clears the filter.
- Use the search box to find a disposal by asset name or asset tag.
- Click the Date column header to sort by disposal date.
This is a reporting view — there’s no edit or delete here. A disposal is a permanent record of something that already happened. Because disposal removes the unit from rental availability, it isn’t reversible from this screen.
Getting the Numbers to Your Accountant
The disposals list is great for a quick review on screen, but when you need the figures for your books, export the financial year’s depreciation — the export includes disposal gain/loss alongside the year’s depreciation postings. See Export Depreciation to Tally / CSV.
