Definicja proportional factor

Define the proportion that one characteristic value combination at detail level contributes to a total at aggregate level. Proportional factors are used when disaggregating data from the aggregate to the detail level.

For example a product group consists of 5 products A, B, C, D, und E. You expect the demand to be as follows:

A - 10%; B - 15%; C - 10%; D - 40%; E - 25%.

These percentages are the proportional factors. If you then determine a demand of 2000 pcs at product group level, the system calculates the following demand at product level:

A - 200 pcs; B - 300 pcs; C - 200 pcs; D - 800 pcs; E - 500 pcs.
