Dispositions Transfers is a program used to dispose of items from post transfer transactions for items on the inventory systemfile. It is located under Transactions>DispositionsTransactions>Transfers.

Disposition transactions contain information about disposing of an item on the inventory file. These transactions provide a way of recording what has happened to assets no longer being used by the district. Disposition transactions are not required if not on GAAP reporting (GAAP flag is not checked) but are recommended. Posting a disposition transaction keeps the Item record on file changing the status to "D", Disposed of, on the Item record. If on GAAP reporting and a capitalized asset is disposed of, the change of status will be reflected in the "dispositions" column on the Change Schedules,

Create a Disposition

When creating a disposition transaction, the tag number to be disposed of Transfer transactions are posted to record a change in an item's asset class, fund, or function codes. These transactions are not necessary if the GAAP flag is unchecked. These codes can simply be modified on the item record in Items when not on GAAP. Once the GAAP flag is checked, these fields become unmodifiable in Items and any changes require a transfer transaction to be posted. These changes are then reflected in the "transfers in" and "transfers out" columns on the GAAP Change Schedules
