  Capital tie-up is a term used in SAP Financial Accounting (FI) to describe the process of tying up capital with a company’s assets. This process involves the use of capital to purchase or acquire assets, such as property, equipment, and inventory. The capital is then tied up with the asset until it is sold or disposed of. 
  
  How to Use It: 
  In SAP FI, capital tie-up is used to ensure that the company’s assets are properly accounted for and that the company’s capital is not being misused. When an asset is purchased or acquired, the capital used to purchase it is tied up with the asset until it is sold or disposed of. This ensures that the company’s capital is not being misused and that the asset is properly accounted for.
