You specify the distribution key or the access key that is to be used as the basis for period distribution.
By making the appropriate setting, you specify, on the one hand, whether the planning method is to be executed in a test run or in an update run, or, on the other hand, whether this decision is to be postponed until the point of execution of the parameter set.
You can jump to a background processing screen.
In the Value fields tab page, you specify which specific value fields are to be distributed.
