Payoff [U0103]: Sale of Asset in Inventory

This update is part of the Payoff [U0103] group of updates. For an introduction to Payoff and links to all the Payoff documents, refer to Payoff [U0103].

 

The Sale of Asset in Inventory function allows the user to sell off lease assets in inventory. This function is an option of the Payoff update, which can be accessed through the main LeasePak Updates menu, Payoff option, or by entering U0103 into Fast Menu <F2>.

In order to sell an asset from inventory it must be available off lease in inventory and have no outstanding accounts payable. To clear accounts payable, use the Disburse Check option of the New Lease update [U0101].

Selling an asset from inventory is irreversible. Once an asset has been sold from inventory, it can only be replaced with another comprable asset added to inventory using the Add Asset option of the New Lease update.

If the Notes Payable module is purchased and if an active note is attached to the asset, a warning message will be displayed.
