Hi rigosakh,

No you cannot change this values. These are default values in the list.

There are some good explanations on abc classification on below links:

Thanks again Junaid, I understand the principles behind ABC classification , unfortunately our company has used their modified version with additional analysis groups for years (eg D - obsolete items, F - provisional items etc) and they want to keep historical records. We can't customize these options at all ?

Actually There is no setup screen for this option and it is enumeration based. You can do the customization with the help of developer but you have to make sure that standard functionality shouldn't get impacted.

But another way around can be using by product category, if you only want to ONLY tag your historical records. Is there and business logic you wrote for D and F or you just want to tag historical records.

Hi Junaid,

There is some business sense in having extra analysis group from purchasing and part supersession arrangement perspective. It is just the way this business operated before I have joined and at this stage I don't have any authority / competence to change it.

I think I will use your workaround solution by using one of the other fields. Not product category because we use this field for another purpose, but I guess any other unused field would do.

I can see that our supplementary item group fields in Sell/Purchase and counting and packing group fields are unused (blank) - I guess that options for these groups are customizable ?

Thank you

yeah I will suggest to use packing group field if you are not using this for packing materials. BTW, In D365 you can also create a new field (Dropdown, text, date) from personalization in any Product tab. You can try it out on test machine and evaluate.

Another question - as per your suggestion we have decided to start using packing group field for our internal analysis group classification. At the moment, we are not using packing functionality and our packing groups are not set up, all items have it blank.

My concern is - after we fill this field out, can it screw any other functionality/reporting in our environment?

Can you share with your nature of business to further understand and advise your accordingly.

My personal suggestion is to use product category but you mentioned that has been already in use for different purpose.

We use packing group to classify our packing material fee but it has no negative impact on any reporting or functionality but still do you have plan to use packing material fee in the future in your business?

Do you have a developer or you are working as functional?
