Inactive Assets Reporting

Question

I need to remove an asset from our Sage Depreciation file without causing a gain or loss on it. I think I've read that the best way to do this is to Inactivate it. However that changes my beginning balance when I run the Fixed Asset Summary Report for the period. Is there a way to show this asset within the summary or even run a separate summary showing inactive assets? 
 
 This is part of a sale of a business so it's being rolled up elsewhere with a total gain or loss more than just relates to the fixed assets. Is there a better way to accomplish this? 
 
 Thanks, 
 Marie

Hello Marie, 
 Since a disposal is a calculation of depreciation, you cannot stop the program from calculating a Gain/Loss on entering a disposal, but that does not mean you have to keep it. When entering a disposal, after you click Calculate and the Gain/Loss appears, you can just go and edit those numbers to be whatever you want, in this case zero, and they will save into the disposal when you click OK to complete the disposal. You can also edit existing disposals to get the same result, see How to edit a disposal for the details.
