Variables in allocation function

[Former Member]

Can we use variables in allocation function in parameter group?

it is a pity! but thanks for url!

I ask about function type - allocation, not about distribute by keys! Of course in your function in fields for conditions or foe change we can use variable.

Hi Marina,

But i don't see variable selection for this in distribution key. And I aks about fast entry in allocation

I hope we are both looking at the BPS0 screen in BPS, if there is some misunderstanding please correct me.

Just to explain with an example.

When you use the functions "Distribute by Keys" and first include the Fields to be changed and Fields for conditions.

Subsequent to that when you create the Parameter group for Conditions and Values you get the variable option in both the places. You would get the list of variables based on the variables created at the planning area level.

Hope it helps.

Yes you can use variables in the parameter group for allocation functions used to distribute values.
