How do I account for excess property sales?

Please note that excess property sales may no longer be deposited to an expense account (i.e., accounts beginning with ’56’). All excess property sales must be accounted for as revenue for the selling department. Please use one of the following revenue accounts to record the sales income:

480057, Other-Excess Property Income (cash or check sale and the selling department is not an auxiliary department)

470057, Auxiliaries-Excess Property (cash or check sale and the selling department is an auxiliary department)

800057, Internal Income-Excess Property (ID sale, note: buying department should use an appropriate expense account)
