Hi Jade,
A realignment makes organizational changes in your product, customer, or sales structure - such as a reassignment of sales districts to regions or products to product groups - effective for all past data. You can perform realignments periodically.
his makes it possible for you to apply changes in customer or material master records, in the SD customer hierarchy, or in CO-PA derivation rules to the data that has already been posted to Profitability Analysis.
Scenario:
Say a Customer is assigned to a customer group '02' and a document already posted to CO-PA, whereas the correct group should have been '01'. This change in customer master from '02' to '01' will not going to change the PA segment and hence the need for realignment run.
Steps:
1. Create realignment run and request (KEND): Here you select the characters to filter out the PA segments in Selection conditions. In Conversion rule, you maintain which characters to convert either by deriving the characters again or by assigning a fixed value. For instance in our example change made in customer master data should be derived again.
2. Test the settings using test monitor (KEND)
3. Once you are satisfied with the test results run it in the background. Menu: Run/Request->Execute->With/Without Start time->Uncheck test mode. Check job status in SM37.
4. Check the results in KEND by double clicking on realignment run.
There is a option to restore the run, if it run by mistake.
Hope this helps.
