Use

If your planning must allow for regular periodic fluctuations, you can define custom distribution keys. The system distributes the total value you entered in planning to the individual periods, based on the distribution defined in the key.

You can create distribution keys before or during planning. SAP recommends creating them before planning begins if you know that organization-specific distribution keys are required.

Examples for distribution keys are seasonal fluctuations or shift schedules.

Activities
