yes, this is an issue! I acutally "found" it already, but I was "lucky"
i didn't need it yet. However, I wonder if this really a shortcoming of
the FAM module, or of the account module. I mean, if you take into
consideraton any product which could become a FA, it usually has a
unique identifier. (maybe I miss some cases)

e.g. invoice for 10 PC. ok, this COULD be written on one line, but you
would still have to have somewhere each one's P/N, serial no, whatever.
maybe we should look into that direction... maybe real-life experience
could help here...

yes and no... unless you pay the same thing several times :-)
form the building, I would rather go with creating a new asset, not from
one (or many) invoices. in any case, in order to create an asset, you
need to tick the case asset when writing the line. you can always
register the purchase in the asset account, but not create
(automatically) an asset.
