Road Map: ABC Class Update

Use the ABC Class Update (HAA) program to define the criteria for ABC classes, assign classes (A through J) to items based on these criteria, optionally update the cycle count frequency by ABC class, and print a report that lists all items by ABC class. See Background for more information.

Before you run this program each time

You should run these programs: None required

Before you run this program the first time

You should run these programs:

System Options Maintenance (XM) (Manufacturing options) to set the option Allow stocking of phantoms.
Branch Maintenance (TBM) to set up branches.
Enterprise Item Maintenance (IM) to set up items and set the Make/Buy/Kit field.
Branch Item Maintenance (IMB) to set up items in your branch.
Standard Cost Rollup (MCR) to roll up standard unit cost.
Output Device Maintenance (XDM) to set up the output devices that you plan to use.
Date-Output Device Maintenance (ZE) to select your default output device and set whether you can override that device.

After you run this program

You will most likely run these programs in this sequence:

Cycle Count Preparation (HCP) to select items to be counted and print a full inventory book or set of inventory tags.
Physical Count Entry (HCE) to enter the quantity you counted of each item.

Alternate Physical Count Entry (HAE) to enter counts from pre-printed physical inventory tags.

Physical Inventory Deviation Listing (HDL) to print the quantity on-hand, the quantity counted, the deviation, and cost variance for items with a deviation.
Physical Inventory Update (HCU) to update on-hand inventory balances based on deviations recorded in Inventory Deviation Listing (HDL) and update the general ledger if you have inventory interfaced to the GL.

You may also run these programs:

Branch Item Inquiry (IMBQ) to display the ABC class and physical count frequency for an item.
Executive Information Summary (EIS) to display inventory value by ABC class.
