Perform ABC Assignments

Use the Perform ABC Assignments scheduled process to perform the ABC assignments again when the class level cutoffs haven’t changed.

When to Use

Use the Perform ABC Assignments process under these conditions:

You can define class level cutoffs on the Perform ABC Assignments page (ABC Assignment criteria). This data gets saved to the database. When you save and submit on the Perform ABC Assignments page, the Perform ABC Assignments scheduled process is automatically submitted and assigns the items to the classes based on the class level cutoffs specified.
When you need to perform the ABC assignments again, and the class level cutoffs haven’t changed, you can go directly to the Scheduled Processes work area and submit the Perform ABC Assignments job manually. The process uses the class level cutoffs that were previously defined.
