Sale of Rental Property Diagnostic

Client sold a rental property consisting of land, building and improvements.  Getting critical diagnostic:

 

method differs from main asset of bulk sale in which it is included....should be input as separate asset.

 

Questions:

Is bulk sale the correct way to book?

If I sell improvements separate from land/building, how is purchase price allocated?

Is there something else I'm missing?

Land (99) and building (code 85 or 87) can clearly go together. The improvements should be allocated separately, but since they are integral to asset being sold I have been known to cheat and go to the assets and change the method to match the building (but don't tell anyone I have done that.)
