OFC Reclass - Add
Use the OFC Reclass - Add screen to create a new OFC reclass table. Set phase-in, phase-out, and element-line parameters so that the Order Formula Code (OFC) on matching parts is automatically updated before a stock order is run.
Note: You may only have 50 lines per reclass table.
To open the OFC Reclass - Add screen, click the Need to create a new reclass? Click here to add link on the OFC Reclass screen, then enter the desired Vendor and Reclass Code on the OFC Reclass window. The OFC Reclass - Add screen opens.
Note: When configuring the OFC reclass parameters, do not leave blank values in the Sales, Demand, or Cost columns; any gaps in these sections cause the OFC reclass run to skip reclassing parts for the selected vendor. Cover the full continuum of sales and demand values without overlaps so parts do not fall between lines.
For setup guidance, sales/demand calculation, and common issues, see Best Practices on the OFC Reclass - Edit screen.
The fields on the OFC Reclass - Add screen are:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Vendor |
The number of the vendor that is affected by the parameters in the corresponding OFC reclass table. The vendor number and reclass code indicate to the system which parts are affected by the corresponding OFC reclass table. This field only appears when accessing the screen by clicking the Need to create a new reclass? Click here to add link. |
| Reclass Code |
A code of up to 10 alpha- numeric characters. The code is used as a label for a part. This code is used to associate parts with a reclass table and the lines within that table. You can use the Reclass code to group parts. This is not the same as the OFC but is dealer-defined. This code can be specified on the Part Profile Ordering Information tab in the Reclass text field. This field only appears when accessing the screen by clicking the Need to create a new reclass? Click here to add link. |
| Active for Parts | If selected, indicates that the OFC reclass code is active for use within the Parts system. |
| Phase In Sales |
The total sales that parts associated with the selected OFC reclass code must have had in the number of months specified in the In Months field. The corresponding part phases in to inventory when the specified criteria are met. |
| And/Or |
The operator used in the Phase In or Phase Out sales or demand statements. Options are:
|
| Phase In Demands |
The total demands that parts associated with the selected OFC reclass code must have had in the number of months specified in the In Months field. The corresponding part phases in to inventory when the specified criteria are met. |
| In Months | The number of months used in the Phase In or Phase Out sales or demands statements. |
| Phase Out Sales |
The total sales that parts associated with the selected OFC reclass code must have had in the number of months specified in the In Months field. The corresponding part phases out of inventory when the specified criteria are met. Parts that meet phase-out criteria are typically reclassed to OFC 5. |
| Phase Out Demands |
The total demands that parts associated with the selected OFC reclass code must have had in the number of months specified in the In Months field. The corresponding part phases out of inventory when the specified criteria are met. |
| Sales |
Sale range criteria (lower and upper values) that must be met for the element line to apply. |
| Demand | Demand range criteria (lower and upper values) that must be met for the element line to apply. |
| Mth | The number of prior months included with the current month when evaluating the element line. See How Sales and Demands Are Calculated. |
| Cost | Cost range criteria (lower and upper values) that must be met for the element line to apply. |
| OFC | The new OFC to apply to the part if it meets the configured criteria. See Order Formula Codes Summary. |
| Lead Time | The lead time applied to matching parts when the element line criteria are met. |
| Safety Stock | The safety stock applied to matching parts when the element line criteria are met. |
| % or F | Select whether the safety stock value is a percentage or a fixed amount. |
| Reorder Point | The reorder point applied to matching parts when the element line criteria are met. |
| Order Quantity |
The order quantity applied to matching parts when the element line criteria are met. For some OFC codes, a reorder point formula calculates the order quantity. See Order Formula Codes Summary. |
Example situation:
If the parts related to the selected OFC have sales between 1 and 5, demands between 1 and 5, and a cost between 1 and 5 within the period of a month, change the OFC to 9, lead time to 24, safety stock to 10%, reorder point to 10, and the order quantity to 15 on all related parts.
