In the standard settings, the limit for class U is 100,00. A high-priced material with a unit price of 100,00 is assigned to the class U. Alternatively, you can select the Item price in % strategy. There are no fixed limits for the classification in this case. From the analyzed materials, the total of all unit prices is calculation and the materials are sorted in descending order based on their unit price. Those materials that lie in the respective percentage segment with their unit price are assigned to the relevant class. You can also define the classes based on the number of materials. You can specify the Number of Materials or the Number of Materials in %.
