Purge ABC Assignment Group

Use the Purge ABC Assignment Group scheduled process when you no longer use the ABC assignment group and it’s been unassigned from the cycle count.

ABC assignment groups link a particular ABC classification set with a valid set of ABC classes. You selectively reduce or increase the number of ABC classes you want to use in your item assignments for a particular ABC classification set. Purging an ABC assignment group deletes all ABC class assignments to the ABC assignment group, as well as the ABC assignment group itself.

When to Use

Use the Purge ABC Assignment Group scheduled process when you no longer use the ABC assignment group and it’s been unassigned from the cycle count. This can occur when many new items are added to an inventory and many older items are removed. In this scenario, its often easier to create a new ABC classification set and perform new ABC assignments in an ABC assignment group. Then you can purge the previous ABC assignment group from the database to help with system maintenance.
