KE28 Top-down distribution for only part of the Value Field

Question

Hi Experts,
We have a situation where we will make manual postings in CO-PA through KE21N. Part of this postings will be at the lowest detailed level and part will be for a more summarized level od characteristics. All the postings will flow to the same value field.
We need to make a top-down distribution only for the postings that were made in a summarized level, because the other postings already have the details that we need.
Is it possible?
Kind Regards

Hi Venkata,
Please note that :-
you can not distribute to a characteristic that already contains a
value.  Please see note 77476.  If you want to distribute to eg.
profit center, then the characteristic must be initial (in the data
to be distributed).
In the case where the log showed "number of receivers" but no line
written is a common problem in transaction KE28 logged by customers.
One example is that, if the amount of line items is 0.00 for all the
receivers, no line item will be written.
No values in reference data:
If there are no values in reference data for some segments (see the
log). No records are posted (segments which were distributed, but
their value is zero i.e. there is no value to be distributed, are not
posted).
No initial values in the distribution level (ie. # - non assigned)
in each of the characteristics in distribution level.
