Update Movement Class

Form ID: (IN506100)

Note:

This form is available only if the Inventory feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.

You use this form to calculate and update movement class assignments for stock items at a particular warehouse. The calculation of movement classes is based on the items’ turnover during the selected period.

When a movement class is calculated, the system records this class in the database for the item, the warehouse, and the period of the calculation. If you select a warehouse and an end period in the Selection area and the system finds the recorded calculation of the movement class for this warehouse and period, it shows each item’s calculated movement class in the Projected Movement Class column.

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 on the Movement Classes (IN208600) form.

Attention:

If a stock 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.

You can review and manually change the assigned movement class of the item in a particular warehouse on the General tab of the Item Warehouse Details (IN204500) form.

For more information on calculation of movement classes, see Inventory Ranking Methods.
