Hello, 

Before we implemented IFS10 we had ABC Classes on the parts we sold. We used contribution margin to determine whether a part was A, B or C. The parts are sold to a number of markets, and we got input from the markets to “reclassify” so that a small market wasn’t just left with Cs. If we had a constraint situation in production we could use the ABC class to prioritise. We also used it to prioritise focus for demand planning. The parts we sell are both manufactured and purchased.

Since going live we have not changed the migrated values. I want to try the automatic update.

Is ABC Class a mandatory field?

Is is possible to change the default value so that it is not C?

Do all Inventory Parts get the ABC Class?

What experiences do you have with the automatic update of the ABC Class and what functionality is there linked to it, eg safety stock calculation and the service rate?

Regards,

Basil
