  Key Concepts: 
  A block indicator is a feature in SAP FI-AA Asset Accounting that allows users to block certain assets from being posted to. This can be used to prevent assets from being sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of. The block indicator can be set at the asset master record level or at the individual asset level. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To set a block indicator, go to the asset master record and select the “Block Indicator” tab. Here, you can select the type of block you want to set (e.g. sale, transfer, etc.). Once you have selected the type of block, click “Save” to apply the block indicator. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting a block indicator, make sure to double-check that it has been applied correctly. It is also important to remember that the block indicator will only apply to the asset master record or individual asset that it is set on – it will not apply to any other assets in your system.
