Product Administration Change Product Category Report overview

Product > Administration > ICA Reports > ICACC

Function acronym: ICACC

Use this report to update entire product category groups or partial product category groups.

Caution: 
Because this report updates many records, it is a time-consuming process. Do not run this report during normal business hours. If you cancel the report before it is complete, a partial update may occur. A partial update corrupts files that cannot be repaired by any standard system function. You cannot restart the report to complete the process.

Depending on the ranges and options that you specify, the report can update these records:

  • SA Table Code Value Setup
  • Product General Ledger Distribution Setup
  • SM Setup Extended Product Category by Customer Totals
  • SM Setup Product Category by Totals and by Vendor
  • Sales orders
  • Purchase orders
  • Bid preparation orders
  • Pricing and rebate records
  • Warehouse transfers
  • Supplier Link
  • Kit production work orders

The Product Setup records are changed regardless of the options that you select. Non-stock product records and non-stock build-on-demand kit component records are also changed. If you choose options that do not make changes to existing records, enter the changes manually.

PD Setup Automatic Pricing records (character version only) and product categories on the SM Sales Analysis Report list screen are changed unconditionally. They are included on the report with separate totals. Product Catalog Setup records are not changed with this function because those records are not company specific.

If you post by product category and on hand balances for a product changed, a manual journal entry is required to keep General Ledger in balance.

This table shows the messages that can be included on the report:
