Working with Source Categories (WSCT)
Purpose: You can use the Work with Source Categories function to create and change source categories. A source category identifies a grouping of names that points to a source code, for example, buyers, recipients, etc. The system uses source categories for sorting and subtotaling on forecast analysis reports. You can also use the source category assigned to the source code on the order as a criterion for pick slip generation.
If you are using the Forecasting, you must assign source categories to each source code that the system analyzes (types K and U source codes). Source code categories are not required for type N (not analyzed) source codes.
You use the Working with Source Codes (WSRC) function to assign a category to a source.
