ABC assignment groups associate ABC classes with an ABC compile. You assign items to ABC classes within a particular group. This allows you to assign items to different ABC classes in different groups.

For example, suppose you define ABC groups "Cycle Counting" and "Planning". You can assign different ABC classes to these two groups. You can then assign an item to a different ABC class in each group. This allows you to prioritize items differently for cycle counting and planning.

   To define an ABC assignment group:

1. Navigate to the ABC Assignment Groups window.

2. Enter a unique ABC group name.

3. If you want to assign items to this ABC group using an ABC compile, enter the name of a valid ABC compile for your organization.

   If you entered an ABC compile name, Oracle Inventory displays the subinventory (if any) and the valuation associated with that ABC compile.

4. Optionally, you can view compile information by choosing View Compile from the Tools menu. This option is available only if you enter a compile in the Compile Name field.

5. Save your work.

   To enter classes to use with an ABC group:

1. Choose the Group Classes button. The ABC Group Class Assignments window appears.

2. Enter the sequence number in which classes are ordered. The lower the number the higher the importance of the class. Oracle Inventory defaults to the next available integer.

3. Enter the name of the class to use with this ABC group.

4. Optionally, you can navigate to the ABC Classes window by choosing Classes from the Tools menu.

   To assign items to the group if you associated an ABC compile to the group:

1. Choose the Assign Items button. See: Defining ABC Item Assignments.

   To update item assignments or enter items that were not part of an ABC compile:

1. Choose the Update Items button. See: Updating ABC Item Assignments.

   To purge an ABC group:

1. See: Purging ABC Information.
