Define Distribution Functions (SAP Library

Define Distribution Functions

In this menu option you define the distribution function. You specify what percentage of the capacity should be used after what percent of the operation's duration.

Example

Equal distribution function


       Percent duration:  20  40  60  80  100


       Percent load:      20  40  60  80  100

Strategy: Point in time

Dispatch 20% of the capacity requirements after 20% of the operation's duration (20% at this point in time), another 20% of the capacity requirements after 40% of the operation's duration, etc.

Strategy: Function

Continuous requirements distribution equally over the whole duration of the operation. You can achieve the same effect if you enter the value "100" for both the percentage duration and the percentage load.

Distribution with the maximum at the end

First the capacity requirements rise only slightly, then rise sharply and level off at the end.


   Percent duration:   20  40  60  80  100


   Percent load:       10  20  40  90  100

Actions
