In this activity, you define distribution keys for use in planning. Distribution keys let you distribute plan values entered at the year level to individual periods or weeks using certain distribution strategies.
In a distribute key, you assign a relative factor to each period/week to which you want the plan values to be distributed. Enter "0" or nothing for periods that you do not want to plan any values for.
The number of periods per fiscal year is determined based on the fiscal year variant of the operating concern. If you have activated planning in weeks, you must specify whether you want to use the distribution key to distribute to weeks or to posting periods. (The fiscal year variant and weekly planning are defined in the operating concern attributes.)
If you want to use the distribution key for more than one year, select the "Cyclical" field.
