The classification parameters configuration can be used to set an item's stocking indicator, ABC classification and HML classification. They define the rules to be applied during classification in the App.

Any items set to Obsolete in the ERP are sent to the App as Obsolete. By checking Classify obsolete items, items sent to the App flagged as Stocked are tested against the rules defined for setting the item to Obsolete. If the item meets the criteria, its stocking indicator is changed by the App from Stocked to Obsolete.

Any items set to Non-stocked in the ERP are sent to the App as Non-stocked. By checking Classify non-stocked items, items sent to the App flagged as Stocked are tested against the rules defined for setting the item to Non-stocked. If the item meets the criteria, its stocking indicator is changed by the App from Stocked to Non-stocked.

ABC items and HML velocity items may be classified by forecast or by sales history (the default is by forecast which caters better for growing or dying products).

The percentages used to identify each categorisation are set here.

To apply any changes to the classification parameters to all items, click on Reclassify.
