Distribution of work over duration

[Former Member]

Dear All,

In my present set up, when i distribute the work over the duration of the activity, the distribution is linear.

Ex- 50 m3 of excavation in 5 days will get distributed as 10 m3 daily for 5 days.

How can I make the distribution variable ( S-curve, or sinusoidal etc)???

Regards,

Hi Vikas,

To use a custom distribution key you need to make configure the following:

Navigate to the following node in SPRO:

Project System > Resources > Distribution

1. Distribution function - tcode OPB2

The following data is for a S curve distribution. you can use MS excel to distribute % Req values according to the curve equation you want.

% Dur % Req

10 2

20 5

30 12

40 27

50 50

60 70

70 83

80 92

90 97

100 100

2. Use the distribution strategy that you want to use, normally the standard SAP strategies suffice almost all requirements.

3. Create a new Requirements Distribution key

Use the Startegy decided in number 2 and function from number 1.

You are ready with your S curve distribution key.

Let me know if this helped.
