Distribution of work over duration

Question

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,

Answer 1

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.
