Movement Analysis - Sales (IC151)
Run Movement Analysis - Sales (IC151) to print a report of the total sales cost and suggests movement classes based on total sales cost percentages.
Processing Effect
You define what percentage of the total cost of sales must be met by movement class 1, 2, and 3.
For example, if you assign 70, 20, and 10 to movement class 1, 2, and 3 this program assigns class 1 to items that make up 70 percent of the total sales, class 2 to items that make up the next 20 percent of total sales, and class 3 to items that make up the last 10 percent of total sales. You do not have to assign a percentage to each movement class. However, the total percentage assigned must equal 100 percent. Examples include 50/50, 80/15/5, and 60/40.
This program requires you to enter the period and year range for which to analyze inventory movement. For example, enter
1 1993 - 4 1993
to analyze inventory movement for the first four periods in 1993. This program also provides an update option that lets you update suggested movement classes to the Item Location records in IC12.1 (Item Location).
You select the items affected by this program by location, report group, and/or sales class. You can also specify a sales cutoff amount and/or include items set up as inactive in the Item Master file (IC11.1) or Item Location file (IC12.1). If you specify a sales cutoff amount, this program excludes items that fall below the sales amount specified.
