This new function offers an easier and more transparent way to reassign your segments
in the general ledger of SAP ERP, offering a single point of entry along with auditable and
role-based process administration. A reorganization plan manager creates a
reorganization plan as the basis for generating the object lists that the manager presents
to those responsible for editing (reassigning) the segment-carrying objects (like profit
center, receivables, payables, assets, and so on). After this step, the reorganization plan
manager starts changing all the objects assigned by the objects owners. Afterward the
manager triggers the reposting of the balance sheet accounts. Once all changes and
postings are performed, the reorganization plan is closed.
