Update Movement Class

Form ID: (IN506100)

Note: This form is available only if the Advanced Physical Counts feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.

You use this form to make mass changes to the movement class assignments for inventory items at a particular warehouse. Movement class assignments are based on the turnover of each item during the selected turnover period. When you update movement class assignments on this form, the system assigns the projected movement class to each item, based on the movement class definitions and the position of the item in the list of warehouse items, which are arranged by turnover rate in the selected period. For more information, see Inventory Ranking Methods.

You define movement classes on the Movement Classes (IN208600) form. You can initially assign the movement classes to items stored at the specific warehouse manually on the General tab of the Item Warehouse Details (IN204500) form.

On this form, you can view the list of inventory items with pending movement class assignments and update the assignments for the listed items. Items with a fixed movement class are also listed, but their assignments are not updated automatically.

Note: If an inventory item has no transactions in the selected period, the projected movement class is not calculated, and the current movement class is not updated for this item on the current form.

Selection Area

In this area, you can select the warehouse where the movement class assignments will be updated and the turnover period for which the movement class assignments will be updated. The number of these periods per year—and, thus, the length of each period—is defined by the Turnover Periods per Year setting on the General tab of the Inventory Preferences (IN101000) form.
