• Key Concepts: 
  Inflation adjustment documents are used in SAP Financial Accounting (FI) to adjust the value of an asset or liability for inflation. This is done by calculating the difference between the current value of the asset or liability and its original value, and then adjusting the value accordingly. The adjustment is based on an inflation rate that is determined by the user. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP FI, inflation adjustment documents are created in the Asset Accounting module. To create an inflation adjustment document, the user must first enter the asset or liability to be adjusted, along with its original value and current value. The user then enters an inflation rate and the system will calculate the difference between the two values and adjust the asset or liability accordingly. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating an inflation adjustment document, it is important to ensure that the correct inflation rate is entered. This will ensure that the asset or liability is adjusted accurately and that any discrepancies between the original and current values are accounted for.
