The Dispose function is used to delete one or more assets from your database. You will use this function when you no longer have an asset.
Keep in mind that once disposed, assets cannot be "un-disposed", meaning there is no way to reactivate the asset. You would need to create a new asset if the asset is found. There may be situations where you will want to move an asset to a temporary location, rather than disposing of it, if the asset is misplaced. For example, if you regularly have items that are not found during an audit, but are found later, you may not want to dispose of them. Moving them to a temporary location you set up in Rosistem Assets enables you to move them back to their regular location when they are found. Disposing of these assets requires you to create a new asset later if they are found.
1.To access the Dispose screen, from the Main screen, click Asset Management > Dispose. The Dispose screen shown below appears.
You can also access this screen from the Asset List by highlighting the asset you want to Dispose, then click the Dispose button on the toolbar. For more information on using the list screens, click here.
2.You can search for specific assets using the Filter or the Custom Filter at the top of the screen.
Filter: This is the default selection mode and allows you to select assets by specifying any combination of values for the four filter criteria: Asset Tag, Location, Department and Purchase Order.
Note: Pinning can be used with Dispose transactions. Pinning allows you to "lock" the information entered into a field. This is convenient if, for example, you are entering multiple new assets for a particular site and location. You can enter the site and location once, then pin them. The fields will retain the information you entered through each new entry until you unpin them. In the example screen shown below, values are entered in the Site, Location and Department Code fields. These three fields were Pinned by clicking on their 
pushpins, causing them to look like 
this. Click the pushpin again to unlock the field for entry of a different value.
Custom Filter: This feature uses the Simple Find or Advanced Find screens to select the assets you want to dispose.
3.The assets matching your criteria will appear in the grid. You can manually limit the list of Assets further by highlighting only those assets in the list you want to dispose. To multi-select, hold down the CTRL key while clicking on assets with your mouse.
The Select All button can be used to highlight all the records found by your choice of filter criteria. De-Select All can be used to clear any selections previously made.
The Detail button will open the Edit Asset screen for a highlighted record, to view or modify the Asset record prior to doing the Dispose. If more than one record is selected, the Detail button will be disabled.
4.A Disposal Reason must be selected from the drop list. Reasons are: Sale, Lost, Damaged, Trade In, Stolen or Other.
5.You can optionally apply Notes to the transaction.
6.When you are finished entering information in the required fields, the Dispose button will be enabled. Click it to dispose of the selected assets or click the Close button to exit without disposing of any assets.
