Documentation

Definition

Here you specify a distribution factor. With the distribution factor you determine how the key figure values are distributed to the values of the characteristic(s) that is to be changed.

The system determines the relative weight of the factors to one another within a parameter group and redistributes the totaled amount using the characteristic values in accordance with the determined weights to the characteristic values. You will find more information in the SAP Library (application help) under Business Planning and Simulation -> User-Defined Planning Functions -> Distribution.
