Dear Experts,
One customer is upgrading from Enterprise 4.70, Release 110 to ECC 6.0, Enhancement Pack 3.
During testing they notice that programs RFFMCHAN and RFFMCHAT have changed and the related SAP notes indicate that these programs no longer allow reassignment of FI documents.
Is this change valid for both Classic and New GL? If this functionality is being removed, what is the alternative process?
Thanks in advance for any hint.
Best Regards,
Vanessa Barth.

Thank you for your response. I also assumed that with Classic GL I should still be able to reassign the FI document and then delete and recreate the SPL. However, RFFMCHAT no longer allows me to change the FI document.
Does anyone know what the solution in New GL is for reassignment of FI documents?

Keren,
I think you may need to delete the SPL postings before you can reassign the FI postings. And this is the only way to avoid the inconsistencies between the SPL and FI. You could do a quick test:
1. Run RGUREP03 to delete one SPL document
2. Run RFFMCHAN to reassign FM account assignments to the GL document corresponding to the deleted SPL doc.

Hello Vanessa, the change is made only if document split functionality is used in New GL, and if the field to reassign is a characteristic relevant for split (i.e. Fund or Grant).
You can check OSS note 1283321 RFFMCHAT: Validation for active general ledger.

Thank you for the note. We are currently on Enterprise 4.70 and are using split processor with SPL. Our process for reassignment is to execute RFFMCHAT to reassign the FI document; execute program RGUREP03 to delete the SPL and RGUREC10 to recreate the SPL document again from the FI document.
According to note 1283321, any document (FI) that will be updated in the general ledger cannot be reassigned using RFFMCHAT. That makes sense for New GL because the FI and SPL documents are essentially the same. However, in Classic GL they are still separate.
If FI documents can no longer be reassigned using RFFMCHAT, what is the alternative?
Thanks in advance for any assistance you may be able to provide.
