Updating ABC Codes
The Customer ABC Update screen allows you to update any of the three codes based upon a percentage allocation and date range.
Sales: Invoiced amount based on the given Date Range and selected Item Categories.
Profit: Gross profit on invoices based on the given Date Range and selected Item Categories.
Item Categories do not need to be selected if you are not using them as a filter. By selecting none, you are effectively including all of them.
Days to Pay: Cash Receipts based on the given Date Range and Invoice/Due Date selection.
We recommend using Due Date for the Days to Pay calculation as it is a more realistic indicator of a customer's willingness to pay on time.
The program will run after you have entered percentages equaling 100% for each code and clicked the Update button. Upon completion, it will export a file to the Adjutant folder with a list of customers, their old codes, and their new codes.
Filters
Item Categories: Select specific item categories if you wish to exclude some types of items from the sales and profit calculations.
Include Frt/Packing: Freight and Packing charges are excluded by default. Check this box to include them in the sales and profit calculations.
Invoice/Due Date: Select which date you wish to calculate the Days to Pay code from.
