Andy HaciekIs it just like "its okay" and "that's fine"..

Yes. But it is not as common. Usually it's in context of agreeing with someone - accepting an offer, opinion, or suggestion. It is usually followed by a counterpoint.

Examples:

So your daughter no longer wants to celebrate her birthday in your basement. Fair enough. But whether you agree to a gym party for the preschool set or laser tag for the older ones, know that you'll be on the hook for renting a space, paying for food, and purchasing party favors. All in all, expect to spend hundreds of dollars.

Well, fair enough. I very much agree with that last point. I don't think -- this is a forward-looking election. We are in a new crisis. What you did as governor six years ago or Speaker 15 years ago does not matter much.

Finally, he spoke. "Fair enough, Mr. Davis. In here, it is just an exercise. But someday, you may have to choose. Should you send soldiers to war? Should you sign a law that will help some and harm others? And I wonder, Mr. Davis. Will you be ready? "

fair enough?
