3. Reorder Categories
Introduction
Standard recategorisation of parts only takes place during the End-of-Month Update which is generally an
automated overnight operation initiated by an End-of-Day Procedure (Timed Operations).
They can be set to reflect price as well as movement by using this option.
Reorder Categories are a reflection of the AVERAGE MONTHLY DEMAND of a part.
Normally they are as follows : -
