In this activity, you can define a distribution key.

Using a distribution key, you can distribute plan totals over individual plan periods.

The following options are available for defining distribution keys:

  • You can define a distribution key that references an existing standard distribution key (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7).
  • You can define an independent distribution key without using a reference.

Standard settings

The SAP Standard System includes multiple distribution keys. You can copy these standard distribution keys and then change them.

To copy a standard distribution key, position the cursor on the desired distribution key in the tree structure, and use the right mouse key to copy it.

Note

If you use one of the standard distribution keys as a reference, you cannot change the number of periods and the relative factor of the distribution key.

Activities

To define a distribution key, proceed as follows:

  1. Position the cursor in the tree on
    • referenced, if you want to reference a standard distribution key
    • Independent, if you want to define a new distribution key
  2. Using the right mouse button, choose Create.
  3. Enter a key up to four characters long and a name for your distribution key.
  4. Enter the posting periods to which the plan values are to be distributed.
    • You can enter the numbers of the posting periods in any order: the system automatically sorts the period numbers entered and the numbers assigned to these values in ascending order. You can enter any number of periods.
      • Example
      If you want to distribute the totals to the first period of each quarter, enter 1, 4, 7 and 10 in the posting period column.
    • The relative distribution factor determines the share of the total plan amount that the period in question receives. Each period receives a specific share of the plan total based on the following formula.
      • Example
      (Distribution factor * Total plan amount) / Total of the relative factors
      If a distribution factor of 40 is assigned to period 1, the total of all relative factors for the distribution key is 320, and the entire plan amount is 5000, period 1 receives:
      (40 * 5000) / 320 = 625
  5. The following functions are also available:
    • To suppress the display of all periods with a distribution factor of 0, choose Hide zero values. To redisplay these posting periods, choose Display zero values.
    • If you set the distribution factor of a period at a later date to 0, you can recalculate the factors of the remaining periods. To do so, choose Calculation.
    • To compare your new distribution key with your original distribution key, choose Compare.
    • To view the change history of a distribution key, choose History.
  6. Save your distribution key.
