Prerequisites and Customizing

You use this process to make the Customizing settings for the reassignment with new General Ledger Accounting.

Prerequisites

You have ensured that the prerequisites for the reassignment have been met. You can find these prerequisites in Customizing for General Ledger Accounting (New) under Start of the navigation path Reorganization Next navigation step Basic Settings Prerequisites for a Reorganization End of the navigation path and in Customizing for Public Sector Management under Funds Management Government Closing Operations Commitment Closing Operations Prepare Reassignment with New General Ledger Accounting .

If you want to reorganize fixed assets as well, you have already ensured that the object type-specific prerequisites for the reorganization of fixed assets are met. For more information, see Object Type: Fixed Asset.

Note Note

Note that, for the reassignment of fixed assets, the system prerequisites (including Customizing settings, see below) and the organizational prerequisites must be met (for example, the closing operations for the prior period must be completed before you can start the reassignment and the transfer postings).

End of the note.

Process

There are mandatory Customizing activities (absolutely necessary) and recommended Customizing activities.

Mandatory Customizing Activities

You must perform the following activities:

Activate Reorganization Plan Type
To be able to use the reorganization, you must activate the reorganization plan type 002 (FM Reassignment) in Customizing for the Reorganization under Basic Settings Activate Reorganization Plan Type .
Define Reorganization Document Type
For reorganization transfer postings, the balances of the objects to be reorganized are transferred from the old account assignment to the new one. You must define the document type that you want the system to use for reorganization transfer postings. To enable reorganization transfer postings to be output separately, we recommend that you define a separate document type for these transfer postings instead of using an existing document type for operational postings.

Define the reorganization document type in Customizing for the Reorganization under Basic Settings Define Reorganization Document Type .

Recommended Customizing Activities

We recommend that you perform the following activities:

Remove Object Types from Derivation Hierarchy
If you do not want to process the object type Fixed Asset, you can remove it from the derivation hierarchy. Edit the derivation hierarchy in Customizing for the Reorganization under Basic Settings Remove Object Types from Derivation Hierarchy .
Specify Restriction Characteristics for Reorganization Object Type (only for object type Fixed Assets)
When the system determines the objects to be reorganized, it considers the general and specific restrictions that you specified in the reorganization plan. On the Specific Restrictions tab page in the reorganization plan, you can restrict the selection to specific characteristics so that only the relevant objects (fixed assets) appear in the object lists. You use this Customizing activity to tell the system which restrictions are available for the definition of the reorganization plan and for which characteristics you have to specify values for the restriction.

Define the restriction characteristics in Customizing for the Reorganization under Basic Settings Restriction Characteristics Specify Restriction Characteristics for Reorganization Object Type .
Define Display Characteristics for Each Object Type
In this Customizing activity, you define which display characteristics are available in the object list. Display characteristics are attributes of the objects to be reorganized that can be displayed in the columns of the object list. The object owners can use the display characteristics later on to filter or sort the object list, or as additional information for each object.

Define the display characteristics in Customizing for the Reorganization under Basic Settings Display Characteristics Specify Display Characteristics for Each Object Type .
Select Additional Account Assignment Elements
If you want to use the object type Fixed Asset in addition to the object type FM Document with FI Reference and you want to reassign for the fixed assets additional FM account assignment elements that are not updated in new General Ledger Accounting, you must select these account assignment elements in this Customizing activity. During the creation of a reorganization plan, the system reads the data according to this Customizing setting and transfers it to the reorganization plan. After this, you cannot make any subsequent changes to this setting for that reorganization plan.

Define additional account assignment elements in Customizing for the Reorganization under Specific Settings for Reassignment in Funds Management Account Assignment Elements Select Additional Account Assignment Elements .
Define Transaction Types for Reorganization Transfer Postings
We recommend that you define your own transaction types so that the reorganization transfer postings can be output separately in summary reports.

Define the transaction types for the reorganization transfer postings in Customizing for the Reorganization under Basic Settings Define Transaction Types for Reorganization Transfer Postings .

For asset balances, the system uses the consolidation transaction types depending on the asset transaction type.
