• Key Concepts: 
  A complex fixed asset is an asset that is composed of multiple components, each of which has its own individual value. This type of asset is typically used in industries such as manufacturing, where the individual components are used to create a larger, more complex asset. In SAP, complex fixed assets are managed through the FI-AA Asset Accounting component. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use the FI-AA Asset Accounting component to manage complex fixed assets, users must first create a master record for the asset. This master record will contain information about the individual components that make up the asset, as well as their individual values. Once the master record is created, users can then assign each component to the asset and track its value over time. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a master record for a complex fixed asset, it is important to ensure that all of the individual components are accurately accounted for. This will help ensure that the value of the asset is accurately tracked over time. Additionally, it is important to regularly review and update the master record in order to ensure that any changes in the value of the individual components are accurately reflected in the overall value of the asset.
