Under Top-down distribution, you select the method of distribution. Distribute "nonassigned" only means that the individual values already planned at the product level (total 1450 units) are not added together and then redistributed. Thus only the 1000 units that have not been planned at the product level will be distributed.

Distribute entire value means that the system distributes all 1450 units to products according to the quantity sold last year

The planning data from the previous fiscal year is taken as reference data. This means that the 1000 light bulbs are to be distributed, corresponding to the quantity sold.

The invoiced quantity in sales units is taken as the reference value field. This means that the value fields used in the distribution all reference a value field and are distributed according to the distribution of that reference value field. You can use value fields and key figures as the basis for distribution.

By value fields means that each value field in the reference data is used as the basis for distributing that value field. In other words, the revenue is distributed in proportion to revenue, cost of goods manufactured according to cost of goods manufactured, and so on.

You only want to transfer the quantity (Invoiced quantity) and the Revenue.

Double-click IDES 125 (Top-Down Distribution).

The system now performs the top-down distribution.
