  How to use it: 
  The FI-AA component allows users to create asset master records for each asset acquired. This includes entering information such as the asset’s description, purchase price, and expected useful life. The component also allows users to track the asset’s depreciation over time and to record any disposals of the asset. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating an asset master record, it is important to enter all relevant information accurately. This will ensure that the asset is tracked properly and that any depreciation calculations are accurate.
