}Use it when

- For an asset sold, scrapped or given away, use
books_dispose_asset.
What it does
Take an asset registered by mistake out of the register. Only while none of its depreciation is booked and it is not sold or written off: else undo its depreciation first (books_depreciate undo_after with asset). The books don't change.
What comes back
deleted: its number. Every reply also carries cost_usd and balance_usd.
