Use this screen to establish product classifications. A product classification is a detailed grouping of items within a product type. You can assign the product classification to individual items and sort by these classifications in various reports and inquiries. Typically, product classifications are used in Costpoint Sales Order Entry to classify types of sales.
Example: Product Class = Printers; Product Type = Hardware.
Set up this screen during initialization and maintain it whenever you establish or modify product classifications. You must establish product types in the Product Types screen before product classifications.
Enter a product classification code containing up to six alphanumeric characters. In the Basic Part Data screen, you can associate the code with an item. This field is required
Enter a product classification code description containing up to 30 alphanumeric characters. This field is required.
From the drop-down box, select the product type that is to be associated with this product classification. The product type must already have been established in the Product Types screen. If you do not select a product type, the product type default ("None") will automatically be assigned.
The PROD_CLASSIF table stores the settings from this screen.
