manually
A FD document is generated automatically while saving a fixed asset of Fixed Asset or Intangible Asset type, provided that the parameter Date of Disposal/Date of Sale has been selected on the fixed asset form. Disposal of a fixed asset blocks the option of editing or deleting the documents generated for that asset as well as the option of changing its depreciation-related parameters.
