Fixed Assets

Dispose of a fixed asset

Disposes of an asset and posts the disposal journal entry. The JE removes the cost_basis and accumulated_depreciation from the books, records the cash received (if any), and posts the gain or loss on disposal. Disposal methods:

sold: cash exchanged; gain/loss = sale_price minus NBV.
scrapped: zero proceeds; full loss equal to NBV.
donated: charitable disposition; loss equal to NBV (consult tax adviser for the deductibility position).
traded_in: handled as scrapped here; the offsetting acquisition of the replacement asset is a separate createFixedAsset call.

Status transitions to disposed. Subsequent /depreciate calls return 422 ASSET_DISPOSED. Rule 21 enforces GL postability + balance inside the disposal JE. Idempotent when Idempotency-Key is supplied.
