Model Settings  

You use the model fields to specify those fields that are part of the ABC classification. You must specify the following three model field values.

·         Classified Object. You must specify which characteristic values to be classified (for example, Info Object 0BPARTNER for Business Partners to be classified)

·         Classification Criterion. You must specify the key figure field, which is used as the basis for the classification (for example, Info Object 0NETVALORD for the Sales Revenue generated by the customer)

·         Class Info Object: You must specify the Info Object used as attribute for the classification result (for example, Info Object 0ABC_CLASS representing the possible classification values ‘A’, ‘B’, and ‘C’).

You use the model parameters to specify the type of Classification Rules and the classification rules with their mappings. The classification rules consist of a threshold and the corresponding class as shown in the table below.

Threshold	Class
Thres_1	C_1
Thres_2	C_2
Thres_3	C_3
…	…

A threshold of Thres_n in the table specifies that the left-open value interval (Thres_n-1, Thres_n] maps to class C_n. Thres_0 denotes infinite values.

Consequently, the first row in the table specifies that all records with values less than or equal to Thres_1 will be mapped to class C_1. The second row specifies that all values less than or equal to Thres_2 but higher than Thres_1 will be mapped to C_2, and so on.

The referenced value depends on the specified type of classification rules.
