Defining ABC Item Assignments

Purpose

Assign and update ABC classes to an ABC assignment group where an ABC compile was also entered. 

To define ABC assignments:

1. Use the ABC Descending Value Report to determine the cutoff points for assigning ABC classes. 

2. Navigate to the Assign ABC Items window, or navigate to the ABC Assignment Groups window and choose the Assign Items button.

ABC Codes --> ABC Assignment Groups --> (B) Assign Items

ABC Codes --> Assign Items

3. Enter the ABC group for which to assign items to classes. If you navigate from the ABC Assignment Groups window this field is already entered.

The Compile Name, Subinventory, Number of Items, and Total Compile Value fields display information for the compile used by the ABC Group.

4. Specify the cutoff point for each ABC class. Each ABC class must have at least one item assigned to it, and all items in the ABC compile must be assigned to an ABC class. You can use any of the following fields to determine the cutoff points: 

Seq: You can enter the sequence number from the ABC Descending Value Report for the last item to be included in each ABC class. Oracle Inventory automatically calculates this value if you choose to assign classes by another method. Oracle Inventory displays the last sequence number as the default for the last class. Inventory 

Value: You can enter the cumulative value from the ABC Descending Value Report for the last item to include in each ABC class. Oracle Inventory automatically calculates the maximum value. This maximum value is restricted to the total inventory value compiled and is displayed in the Total Compile Value field. Oracle Inventory displays the total inventory value as the default for the last class.

% Items: You can enter the percent of number of items compiled from the ABC Descending Value Report to include in each class. Oracle Inventory automatically calculates this value if you choose to assign classes by another method.% Value: You can enter the percent of total compile value from the ABC Descending Value Report to include in each class. Oracle Inventory automatically calculates this value if you choose to assign classes by another method.

Attention: It is possible to have several items in the ABC compile with zero value. If any item with zero value is in a class other than the last class, you may only assign items using the sequence number or item percent.

For the Inventory Value, % Item, and % Value fields, if the value entered does not exactly match any item, Oracle Inventory chooses the first item with a value greater than the value entered.

5. Choose the Assign button to launch the concurrent request to assign the items to the classes in the ABC group.
