It uses FMDERIVE as derivation strategy to determine the target FM account assignment.

If no values are derived, FMCN will use the defaultaccount assignment entered in the selection screen.
It can also be used for data correctionafterchangesinFMDERIVE.

reassignment with New GL is possible in certain scenarios (see the References section in this note)

However, FMCB and FMCG 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.
l

FMCB reassigns documentchains(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.

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.

Based on selection criteria, not all of the documents in a chain may be selected.

Take into account the limitations described in note 1379542

Note: 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.
