Update movement class (IN506100)
You use this window to make mass changes to the movement class assignments for stock items at a particular warehouse.
Movement class assignments are based on the turnover of each item during the selected turnover period.
When you update movement class assignments in this window, the system assigns the projected movement class to each item, based on the movement class definitions and the position of the item in the list of warehouse items, which are arranged by turnover rate in the selected period.
You define movement classes in the Movement classes (IN208600) window. You can initially assign the movement classes to items stored at the specific warehouse manually on the General settings tab of the Item warehouse details (IN204500) window.
In the Update movement class window, you can view the list of stock items with pending movement class assignments and update the assignments for the listed items. Items with a fixed movement class are also listed, but their assignments are not updated automatically.
The top part
In this area, you can select the warehouse where the movement class assignments will be updated and the turnover period for which the movement class assignments will be updated. The number of these periods per year and, thus, the length of each period is defined by the Turnover periods per year setting on the General settings tab of the Inventory preferences (IN101000) window.
