Period Weight Factor

[sureshkumar_vaniyasekar]

Hello Experts,

I was trying to understand the period weight factor concepts but could not be able to understand it though I have gone through lot of SAP documents, blogs and forums. Could you please help to understand this concept (Disaggregation from Year to Month, Month to Week, Week to Technical Week, Week to Days, etc) with examples as below,

1. How to maintain the values of different Attributes in Time periods such as DAYWEIGHT, WEEKWEIGHT, MONTHWEIGHT, MONTHOFQUATER & WEEKOFQUATER.

2. How does period factor concept work with example?

Please let me know if there is any document available on this topic.

Thank you in advance!

Regards,

Hi Suresh,

There is no month which is split between 2 years but weeks are split in 2 months, hence there is no need for Month split in principle.

In case you want to do the custom split for months with 31 days or 30 days or 29 days from year, you will have to use the attribute in time profile called "MONTHWEIGHT", assign the number of days or the split factor based on your business requirements. Assign this attribute to Month in time profile which is done by default config.

You can use "MONTHWEIGHT" in Key figure with Month level as root.
