This blog post explains Realignment in Margin analysis. Realignments enables to update profitability characteristics in the posted documents. Realignment can be performed for the below purposes:
Universal Journal – ACDOCA stores all profitability characteristics, only characteristics that are not relevant to G/L can be changed. Profitability characteristics such as Company Code, Controlling Area, Functional Area, Business Area, Profit Center, Partner Profit Center, Segment and Customer-defined characteristics from DDIC Include CI_COBL cannot be changed.
This blog post explains realignment process for the scenario to correct incorrect assignment of customer group in customer master data.
At the time of original posting, incorrect customer group 01 was maintained in the customer master data and corrected to 02 before executing realignment.
App Name: Run Realignment Profitability Analysis
Create Realignment run and request
Realignment runs are the executable units for realignments. A realignment run consists of one or more realignment requests.
A realignment request consists of a set of selection criteria, a conversion rule, and a description.
Selection condition:
The dataset to be realigned can be restricted by means of selection conditions.
Conversion Rule:
Specify how the characteristics values to be changed. The following options are available:
This is the initial default setting for all characteristics. Certain characteristics cannot be changed anyway and are therefore highlighted.
The existing characteristic value is replaced with the specified value.
Using this option for the selected characteristics CO-PA derivation is re-executed. The remaining characteristics are not changed by derivation.
By setting the Rederivation of ACDOCA Characteristics for Attributed Line Items checkbox, the attribution logic can be executed again for the selected ACDOCA line items. This method enables missing information to be rederived.
Execute a realignment run
Realignment run can be executed in test mode initially to validate and then in update mode.
App Name: Realignment Results Profitability Analysis
Gain insight into the changes resulting from realignment runs by reviewing the profitability characteristics as originally posted and after realignment.
Display Line Item – Margin Analysis app output after executing realignment.
