# ABC codes (IN208500)

Last modified February 19, 2026

> This window holds the definitions of the ABC codes used to group stock items for various inventory management tasks.


This topic provides information about the elements in this window in Visma Net, such as fields, field values, buttons, and check boxes.

In Visma Net, ABC analysis is based on relative stock values of stock items.
For each code
to be used in your system, you can specify the threshold value of the criteria to be
used to assign items to it, and the frequency of stock takes required for
stock items assigned to it.

To assign codes for the first time or to update code assignment for items at a particular warehouse, based on the stock values for the selected financial period, use the [Update ABC codes (IN506000)](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/inventory/inventory-windows/update-abc-code-in506000/index.md) window.

For details on using ABC codes, see: [About inventory ranking methods](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/inventory/manage-costs/about-inventory-ranking-methods/index.md) and [Overview of stocktaking options](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/inventory/manage-stocktaking-counts/about-overview-of-stocktaking-options/index.md)

## The top part
