    Hi   ,

    Thanks for reaching out. Did you ever find an answer for this issue? Sage 50 Canada does not have a separate module for the sale of capital assets or specific transactions like this, so it's crucial to consult with your accountant for precise journal entries. They can provide tailored advice considering depreciation recorded and how to best reflect the trade-in and new purchase within your accounting framework​​​​.
