(b) Use various distribution options (such as driver-based or trend-based) to allocate high-level goals across business units, products, geographies, or time. E.g. costs to be allocated to various BUs based on headcount or sales. 

(c) Enter absolute values, scaled values (e.g. 5k), or increments in numbers (e.g. +2k) or percentages (+7%)
