If you performed the analysis for multiple plants, you will first get a list in which the selected plants are shown as well as the sum of the usage values/requirements values for the plant. When you double click on the desired plant, you will see the list of the materials.
If you performed the analysis for one plant, the list of the materials will immediately appear.
The list of materials shows in the single-line display for every material number the short text, the ABC indicator that is newly given by the analysis, and the ABC indicator from the material master.
With the double-line display the following is shown for each material:
Absolute value of the usage/requirements value
Usage value
Percentage of total usage value
Cumulated percentage of total usage value
With
The following functions can be used to process the material list.
Changing the ABC Indicator in the List
You can change the ABC indicator in the list, which was given by using the analysis.
Proceed as follows:
Position the cursor on the ABC indicator of the material whose ABC indicator you want to change and select the function
Change ABC indicator
. A dialog box appears.
In the field
ABC indicator
specify the ABC indicator that you want and press Enter. The ABC indicator in the list will be changed according to your entry.
Copying the ABC Indicator
You can copy the ABC indicator that is shown in the list for each material into the material master. Select the function
Execute the Analysis With a New Analysis Strategy
You can execute the ABC analysis with a new strategy.
Proceed as follows:
Select
A dialog box appears in which the analysis strategies are again displayed.
Specify the desired criterion and press Enter.
The ABC analysis is again executed according to the desired analysis strategy and a results list appears.
Cumulative Frequency Curve
You can display the results of the ABC analysis by using a cumulative frequency curve. This curve can be shown for absolute values or percentages.
The cumulative frequency curve gives you information about the relative concentration of materials. Displayed on the X axis, are the number of materials (or the number of materials in %), and on the Y axis are the cumulated usage/requirements values (or values in %).
The cumulative frequency curve gives you the following type of information: An amount (%) of materials makes up an X amount (%) of the cumulated key figure value. The graph gives you an overview of how much a proportion of the total usage value/total requirements value is concentrated on just a few materials.
In order to call up a cumulative frequency curve, select
