What Are ‘distribution Keys’?

Answer»

The SAP system uses ‘Distribution Keys’ to distribute PLANNED values across various periods. With the standard distribution keys supplied by SAP, you will be ABLE to achieve the type of distribution you NEED

  1. DK1 (equal distribution)
  2. DK2 (distribution as done earlier)
  3. DK5 (copy values to period where there is no value) 

For example: if you have a planned annual value of 12,000, by using DK1 you will be able to distribute 1,000 each as the monthly values. If you had plan values for last year which were something like 1,000 for January to June, 500 for July, 1,500 for August, and 1,000 each for September to December, then by using DK2, you will be able to copy the same AMOUNTS to the next fiscal year. DK5 will copy values to future periods only if there are no values ALREADY available for those periods.
