1609379 - Reassignment tools in Funds Management, which one to choose?


1609379 - Reassignment tools in Funds Management, which one to choose?https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/notes/1609379

Symptom

  • You want to carry out a reassignment of existing documents to a new FM account assignment
  • You want to supply an FM account assignment to documents that do not have any
  • You know some tools exist, though you do not know all their features
  • You want to know the main differences in order to select the most suitable one

Cause

There are several transactions for supplying a new/different account assignment in Funds Management, however you do not know for sure which one among the selection tools covers your scenario:
Selection (worklist creation):
  • FMCN - program RFFMCHAN (Selection for suppl.acct asst)
  • FMCB - program RFFMCHAB (Select Documents - Document Reassignment)
  • FMCG - program RFFMCHAG (Select Documents - Overall Reassignment)
  • FMCG_CHAIN - program RFFMCHAG_CHAIN  (Select Document chains - Total Reassignment) Available as of EhP 604
Display worklist:
  • FMCR - program RFFMCHAR
Delete from the worklist:
  • FMCD - program RFFMCHAD
Convert worklist:
  •  FMCT - program RFFMCHAT
Note: In addition to these tools, reassignment can also be performed during Fiscal Year change.

Resolution

Data Selection Options:
FMCN is normally intended for initial data upload after activation of Funds Management.
  • It uses FMDERIVE as derivation strategy to determine the target FM account assignment.
  • If no values are derived, FMCN will use the ‘default’ account assignment entered in the selection screen.
  • It can also be used for data correction after changes in FMDERIVE. 
  • It can change the external FI document with the limitations described in SAP note 1379542, if you are on a release below EHP5. As of EHP5, reassignment with New GL is possible in certain scenarios (see the References section in this note)
However, FMCB, FMCG and FMCG_CHAIN (as of EhP 604) reassign documents already posted in FM to a different account assignment. The existing FM data is used for data selection, therefore, they check for previous existence in FM tables prior to attempt reassignment.
  • FMCB reassigns document chains (for example, Funds Reservation > Purchase Requisition > Purchase Order > Goods Receipt > Invoice Receipt > Payment).
     
    • The selected document is the ROOT of the chain, hence the chain selection starts with the document entered.
    • You have to inform the receiver FM account assignment manually, there is no derivation strategy behind.
  • FMCG performs an overall selection based on FM account assignment and value type.
    • The reassignment is done based on the Derivation strategy for reassignment (IMG Path: Public Sector Management>Funds Management Government>Master Data>Derivation Strategy for Reassignment, or transaction FMYC), instead of FMDERIVE.
    • It does not select fully reduced documents. If fully reduced documents need to be reassigned, you should use FMCB.
    • Based on selection criteria, not all of the documents in a chain may be selected.
  • FMCG_CHAIN (as of EhP 604)  performs a complete reassignment without document number selection. It processes completed documents in the chain as long as one of the documents in the chain is still open. If one document in the chain fails, the whole chain fails. Like FMCG, it uses the Derivation strategy for reassignment (IMG Path: Public Sector Management>Funds Management Government>Master Data>Derivation Strategy for Reassignment, or transaction FMYC),
Data Posting:
  • FMCT converts the worklist  created by either FMCN, FMCB or FMCG and does the actual posting

    • Worklists created by FMCN:  the external documents (Purchase Order, Invoice, etc.) are changed, and subsequent FM reposting is needed (see SAP notes 1038025 and 189761).This FM reposting is done with the FM reconstruction tools
    • Worklists created by either FMCB or FMCG: the system creates the corresponding reassignment records (lines with amount types 0600/0650) and there is no need to post subsequently. 
    •   Additional posting controls:
       
      • In order to force the reassignment of Payment lines, you can activate badi FMCH, method FMCH_BADI_1-> returning flag E_FLG_REAS_PAYMENTS. When set to ‘X’, the reassignment of payment lines is done
      • In order to force the change of the external FI document, you can activate badi FMCH, method FMCH_BADI_2 -> returning flag E_REASSIGN_ORIG_FI_DOC. When set to ‘X’, the reassignment of original FI doc (bseg, etc) is done. If the worklist was created with FMCN, then the external FI document will be updated by default.
      • Take into account the limitations described in SAP note 1379542
Further notes:
  • For maintenance orders, service orders, networks, network activities, production orders, and so on, refer to SAP note 128356
  • When executing reassignment, only certain types of PRs will be selected for reassignment. In particular, PRs that have been generated during the MRP process (or Planned orders that have been converted to PRs) will NOT be selected for reassignment. The purchase requisitions with B (MRP) and U (converted planned order) creation indicators (EBAN-ESTKZ) are not selected. These PRs must be integrated into FM with the FM_MRP_PR transaction for this purpose
  • Reassignment of Service related documents: unlike Service Purchase Orders or Invoices, Service Entry Sheets (SES) cannot be reassigned. This is a missing functionality, see note 930142
    • If you need to change the FM account assignment of a SES, you can manually change it in transaction ML81N
    • If you need to supply an FM account assignment to your SES after subsequent FM Activation, refer to KBA 2204996
    • If you wish to have this functionality implemented as part of the standard, refer to SAP Note number 11 
  • Reassignment during Fiscal year change also uses the Derivation strategy for reassignment (transaction FMYC).
  • FMCR and FMCD are help tools to review and eventually remove the incorrect or unwanted documents from the worklist.
