Use

You can use this IMG activity to define the distribution key in dependence on the plant. A distribution key is needed to specify the distribution of the order quantities in the evaluation transactions of material requirements planning.

The distribution key is composed of the distribution function and the distribution type:

  • Distribution function

    You specify the distribution function the system is to use (such as equal distribution).

    A distribution function specifies the percentage of the quantities that are produced or consumed after a certain percentage production duration.

  • Distribution type

    This specifies whether the requirement is distributed discretely at the points defined in the function or linearly as defined by the distribution function.

Notes

  • The distribution key is effective in material requirements planning for planned orders, production orders, and process orders.
  • You can use the BAdI MD_ADAPT_DISTRIBUTION to adjust the start and end dates/times for the distribution function. See also: Examples of Equal Distribution

Requirements

Standard settings

Activities

  1. First define the distribution function.
  2. Then specify the distribution key.
  3. Specify the distribution key in the production version if you want to use quantity distribution at the level of the header material of orders.
  4. As an alternative to quantity distribution at the header material level, you can use quantity distribution at component level.

    In this case, you must assign a distribution key to the components in the bill of material. This makes sense if you are working with continuous component feed. Note that if you are using basic-date scheduling, you should stage the components at the outset (function ANF). You must use the function GLEI for the components if they are to be equally distributed.
