Dispositions is used to dispose of items from the inventory system. It is located under Transactions>Dispositions.

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,
