In this activity, you can set up transaction-based top-down distribution for manually planned data. This function means that, when you save your planning data, it is automatically distributed top-down to a more detailed planning level.
Transaction-based top-down distribution lets you ensure that your planning data is always updated at the same planning level. Even if you enter the planning data at more aggregated levels (such as the product/product group level or the product/customer group level), the system automatically posts it at the lowest level (product/product group/customer group).
Transaction-based top-down distribution functions essentially the same way as the automatic planning method top-down distribution, whereby the relevant data is distributed.
Transaction-based top-down distribution can lead to long runtimes. If your planning process calls for planning data to become increasingly detailed in different phases, you should use the automatic planning method for top-down distribution.
