You use distribution keys to both simplify and speed up the entry of monthly plan values. The following options are available for defining your own distribution keys:

  • Distribution keys that refer to a standard distribution key (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7).

Note

  • The system also saves distribution keys in the object currency.
  • You can also change the distribution key during the runtime.

Note

Standard settings

The standard SAP System includes unchangeable default distribution keys.

Recommendation

If the SAP standard keys do not meet your requirements completely, but you want to use certains parts of them, you should copy the distribution key and save it as your own key after making changes to it.

  • Position the cursor on the standard distribution key you want to use and choose Copy using the context menu.
  • Enter a new name for your own distribution key.
  • Maintain and save your settings.

Activities

If necessary, define distribution keys that meet your requirements.

  1. Place the cursor on
    1. Referenced, if you want to refer to one of the standard distribution keys (except 11).
    2. Independent, if you want to create a new distribution key.
  2. Choose Create or Change using the context menu.
  3. Assign a key and a description for the new distribution key.
  4. Maintain the number of posting periods and a relative distribution factor.

    The system distributes the input value to the individual posting periods according to the relative distribution factor.

    Via Suppress zero factor, you can suppress posting periods to which you have assigned a relative distribution factor "0". You can display these posting periods again by choosing Display zero factor.

    If you subsequently want to set a relative distribution factor in a period to "0", you can recalculate the factors of the remaining periods by choosing Calculation.

    You can compare the original version of the distribution key with the new one by choosing Compare.

Notes on transport

To transport distribution keys, a separate function is available in Customizing under Controlling -> General Controlling -> Production Start-Up Preparation -> Transport System Settings -> Transport Settings for Planning -> Transport Other Planning Settings.

Further notes

For more information, see the SAP Library under Financials -> CO Controlling -> Cost Center Accounting -> Cost Center Planning -> Manual Planning -> Techniques for Supporting Manual Planning -> Distribution Keys.
