  Key Concepts: 
  Reassignment is a feature in SAP BusinessObjects Profitability and Cost Management (EPM-PCM) that allows users to move cost and revenue elements from one cost center to another. This feature is useful for companies that need to track costs and revenues across multiple cost centers. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the reassignment feature, users must first create a reassignment rule. This rule defines the criteria for which cost and revenue elements should be moved from one cost center to another. Once the rule is created, users can then select the cost and revenue elements they want to move and apply the reassignment rule. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a reassignment rule, it is important to consider the criteria that will be used to determine which cost and revenue elements should be moved. For example, if a company wants to move all costs associated with a particular product line, they should create a rule that only applies to those costs. 
  
  Related Information: 
  The reassignment feature in SAP BusinessObjects Profitability and Cost Management (EPM-PCM) is similar to the reallocation feature in SAP BusinessObjects Planning and Consolidation (EPM-BPC). Both features allow users to move costs and revenues from one cost center to another, but the criteria used for each feature may differ.
