- Distribution (Period)
Both fields control how a the Campaign Item quantity and amount are distributed amongst the related PreInvoices.

This will not be reflected in the Revenue Schedule. The amount values will always show the linear amount estimation by day. Therefore a 30 day month will show a different amount than a month with 29 or 31 days. |
You can set the Unit to Quantity instead of Amount , then the Quantity will be distributed to the PreInvoices instead of the Amountto distribute by quantity instead of amount.
Using the Period picklist, you can control if the system will take either
- the default distribution based upon the number of days in a month (default), or
- distributed evenly across months, no matter how long an item is planned in that month
This is only relevant for if Linear Distribution is on, also Revenue Schedules are not affected by these changes only the creation of PreInvoices.
