# Creating an Assignment Table

## Overview

An **assignment table** is used to save all elements imported from xP&A (e.g. accounts, reporting entities/cost centers, transaction currency, etc.) and their assignment to elements in CFP.

Assignments are defined during the data import and can then be changed or deleted at any time.
