In this step, you can define the distribution strategy (four-character distribution key) for each plant. A distribution strategy is required to define the distribution for the planning table.

The distribution strategy comprises the distribution function and the distribution type:

  • Distribution function

    You define the percentage of the quantity to be produced or consumed after a percentage of the production time has elapsed.

  • Distribution type

    You define whether the requirement is to be distributed discretely to the points defined for the function or linearly according to the definition in the distribution function.

Preconditions

You must already have defined the distribution functions. You do this in the step entitled, Define function in Customizing for repetitive manufacturing.

Note

The use of a distribution strategy is most useful if you work with repetitive manufacturing with production orders and for process orders.

The distribution strategy is saved in the material master record in the production version.

Action

  1. Create the distribution function.
  2. Create the distribution type.
