Distribution of Plan Values

DISTRIBUTION

The Allevo CO/PA interface uses two different distribution functions that may be performed automatically before posting a plan value.

1. Distribution annual values to periods

Planning for CO/PA is often performed based on annual values per value field. In the standard case, entries will be distributed equally to periods. However, it may be desired to specify the distribution to periods (months) individually.

2. Distribution based on any characteristic

Planning for CO/PA may be performed less in detail than desired in the operating concern. It is possible to distribute planned values/quantities according to self-determined rules based on any characteristic (e.g. period values to sales days).

Both features are activated via the constant DISTRIBUTION and configured using additional tables (see manual).

· Value from contains the name of the additional table maintaining the percentages.

· Value to contains a field name prefix.

For the “Distribution based on any characteristic“, you must additionally enter the CO/PA characteristic used for the distribution in the field assignment and enter “D” in the RWX column.

If there is made in this characteristic field, the program will try to perform the „Distribution of annual values to periods“  in case that the CO/PA field PERDE is NOT assigned in the used scheme and MONTH_ACTIVE is not active, that is: annual values are planned.

Note:

The required settings are explained in detail in the manual of the CO/PA interface (see sections „Distribution of annual values to periods“ and „Distribution based on any characteristic“ ).
