Definition

Key for distributing plan values on periods according to various criteria (analog, equal, and so on).

There is a difference between true distribution keys and input help. When you distribute a plan value on periods using a true distribution key, you always get the originally entered overall plan value by adding up the period values. If you use the input help, this originally entered value can change.

Standard Distribution Key

Standard distribution keys are predefined distribution keys that begin with a number.

  • 0 manual distribution (Entry help)

    This distribution key is automatically set when you enter a period value in the period screen, but you can also use it in the overview screen.

  • 1 Equal distribution

    The entry value is distributed equally across all periods.

    For example, entry value 10,000

Period    Value after

1    2500

2    2500

3    2500

4    2500

    --------

    10000

  • 2 Analog distribution

    The distribution of the entry value is executed by the system just as for the previous distribution.

    For example, entry value 20,000

Period    Value before    Value after    Percentage

1    2000    4000    20 %   

2    4000    8000    40 %   

3    3000    6000    30 %   

4    1000    2000    10 %   

    --------    --------    -------   

    10000    20000    100 %   

  • 3 Percentage-based distribution (Entry help)

    The entry value is interpreted as a percentage rate and multiplied each period by the previous value.

    For example, entry value 50 (%)

Period    Value before    Value after

1    1000    500

2    2000    1000

3    3000    1500

4    4000    2000

    --------    -------

    10000    5000

  • 4 Distribute values in subsequent periods (entry help)

    Periods with contents not equal to zero are distributed on subsequent empty periods.

    For example:

Period    Value before    Value after

1    4000    1000

2    0    1000

3    0    1000

4    0    1000

5    6000    3000

6    0    3000

    --------    --------

    10000    10000

  • 5 Copy values in subsequent empty periods (entry help)

    Periods with contents not equal to zero are copied to subsequent empty periods.

    For example:

Period    Value before    Value later

1    4000    4000

2    0    4000

3    0    4000

4    0    4000

5    6000    6000

6    0    6000

2    --------    --------

    10000    28000

  • 6 Carry forward individual value (entry help)

    The period value entered is copied in the subsequent periods.

    This distribution key only makes sense for period screens where the distribution key is offered by the system. The distribution key has no effect for cumulative values.

    For example:

Period    Value before    Entry value    Value after

1    1000        1000   

2    1000    2000    2000   

3    1000        2000   

4    1000    3000    3000   

5    1000        3000   

6    1000        3000   

    -------        --------   

    6000        14000   

  • 7 Distribution analog to the number of calendar days per period

    The distribution of the entry value is carried out in line with the number of calendar days per period.

    For example, entry value 12,000

    Period    Month    Value after

    1    Jan    3100   

    2    Feb    2800   

    3    Mar    3100   

    4    Apr    3000   

            --------   

            12000   

  • 11 Distribution in line with the planned activity quantity

    This distribution key can only be used in cost element planning or statistical key figure planning for a cost center, activity type or a business process.
    It distributes the inputted values in line with the activity quantity that is planned on the cost center or business process. The activity quantities used, are those planned at the time the distribution key is being used. For later activity changes, and during the copying of plan values in other verions, NO automatic redistribution is performed!
    This distribution key cannot be referenced in the distribution key maintenance.

    z.B. Input value 6.000

    Period Plan.activity Value
    1 10 H 500
    2 20 H 1.000
    3 30 H 1.500
    4 60 H 3.000
    ------
    6.000

The standard distribution keys 0, 3, 4, 5 and 6 are entry helps. If the task requires a true distribution key, you are not allowed to use these distribution keys.

If you want use descriptive names for the standard distribution keys, you can create user-defined distribution keys that refer to the standard distribution keys.

User-Defined Distribution Keys

In addition to the standard distribution keys, you can create user-defined distribution keys by using a relative factor for each period. The entry value is distributed on the plan periods in line with these factors.

For example, entry value 10,000

Period    Factor    Value later    Percentage

1    30    1500    15 %   

2    60    3000    30 %   

3    70    3500    35 %   

4    40    2000    20 %   

    -----    --------    -------   

    200    10000    100 %
