  1. Use the Depreciation Reversal program to reverse any depreciation that has already been taken.  Refer to How to reverse depreciation for Depreciation Reversal instructions.
  2. If the depreciation checkbox is enabled on the asset, process an Adjust Asset Values transaction to disable it
  3. In Adjustments and Retirements, process a Retire Assets or Dispose Assets transaction
