Sell the investment immediately

Question

I bought an expensive laptop for my business, but because I don’t want to continue using it, I decided to sell it immediately (to other sole proprietors). No sooner said than done, I created a sales invoice and sold it. But now, when I enter my initial purchase as an expense in Dexxter, I get a message asking if I should enter this item as an “investment” for myself, but in this case, that is not the case, even though it is a laptop with high amounts. Can I just ignore entering it as an “investment”? I shouldn’t have to start a depreciation procedure, because the item is no longer in my possession. Thank you!

I think you should enter that laptop as a trading good. After all, you purchased it and then resold it. I'm not entirely sure, though.

Thanks, yes, I considered that too, but I'm not actually registered as a trader in my Nacebel codes in the CBE for my sole proprietor...

I took a closer look in Dexxter. If you have recorded the purchase as an investment, you can also sell it again:

Expenses>Depreciation>Actions column ... > Sell

Okay, I'll view this; thank you!

Did it work?
