Purge ABC Classification Set
Use the Purge ABC Classification Set scheduled process to delete all item values and rankings for the ABC classification set that you specify, and the ABC classification set itself.
An ABC classification set determines the relative value of a group of inventory items based on a user-specified valuation criterion. ABC refers to the rankings you assign to your items as a result of this analysis, where A items are ranked higher than B items, and so forth. If the ABC classification set is being used in an ABC assignment group, then the ABC assignment group must be purged first so that you can proceed with purging the ABC classification set.
When to Use
Use the Purge ABC Classification Set scheduled process when you no longer use the ABC classification set assigned to an ABC assignment group defined in your cycle count. This can occur when new items are added to an inventory, older items are removed, and new ABC designations need to be made. In this scenario, it’s best to create a new ABC classification set and perform new ABC assignments. It’s good practice to purge the old ABC assignment groups and ABC classification sets that are no longer used to help reduce unnecessary data in the application tables.
