How to use Distribution Key for planning workforce

Question

Hi,
I have an activity named "Activity1":
Start date = ST = 01/01/2008
End date = ST + 10
Work = 120H
Duration = 10day
Activity type = Labor
I want to assign workers into the activity as follows:
01/01/2008: 10H
02/01/2008: 20H
03/01/2008: 30H
04/01/2008: 40H
04/01/2008 - 10/01/2008: 12H
So I maintained a Distribution Function in IMG as below:
% Duration % Req.
0 9%
10 18%
30 27%
40 36%
50 10%
And maintain the distribution Strategy in:
SPRO-->PS->Resources->Distribution->Define distribution strategy.
And maintain Req. distribution in:
SPRO-->PS->Resources->Distribution->Define requirement distribution.
Finally maintain this distribution key for the activity in "DistKeyCapRqInt" in internal tab .
My question:
What are the next steps for planning workers?
Which transaction is used to execute and monitor the task as plan?
Thanks
Long

Answer 1

"How to split sender data to reciever such tht the distribution should be done on the actual costs of each reciever. how to formulate the rule for reciever?" :
In the segment header : use receiver rule 1 "variable portions" + variable portion type with rule 1 "actual costs". These parameters are confirmed in the receiving tracking factor page.
Then go in the "receiving wighting factors" just for a check of factor per fields. All the lines have the value 100. It's absolutely OK, don't modify it.
One thing to notice: if you use this rule, all the receiver must have a value, in the contrary a distribution based upon receiver actual cost can't run.
"In our company GST for all documents goes to a particular cost center 'X'. Now they want to distribute the GST to the respective cost centers from which it is actually incurred.I tried using SKF with '%' as unit measure but then it's distributing the costs equally to all recievers. How to solve this?":
did you change the percentages of each receveirs in the receiving tracking factor page?
hope it's helpful
