Top-Down Distribution in Margin Analysis
In Margin Analysis, sales revenues, sales deductions, and costs of goods manufactured are generally posted at the customer/product level. However, many business transactions - such as freight invoices, insurance expenses, or advertising - cannot easily be assigned to such a detailed level in Margin Analysis. Consequently, these need to be posted at a summarized level, such as the customer group, sales organization, or even company code level.
Top-down distribution is a periodic function lets you distribute aggregated transaction data to more detailed levels based on reference information (such as transaction data from the previous year/period, or plan data).
By 1911, top-down distribution supports
• Sender data posted on profitability segment (actual data)
• Reference data posted on profitability segment (actual data or plan data)
