The purpose of the following steps is to determine what to use to
correctly define categories for your inventory. After all the properties
have been plotted, use the average as the midpoint for determining the
Category Definition.
• On a piece of paper, draw 10 boxes to represent 10 Categories.
• Enter the Average at the midpoint of the 10 Categories.
• Experiment with the numbers to determine the following the Interval
that would be required to encompass all of your inventory within a
10 Category spread, and the Highest Value for the First Category.
Use the numbers determined by this process for your Category
Definitions.
10.7 Define Categories to Cover the
Range of Your Cotton
Once you have determined what the values are that should be entered
for the Category Definitions to reflect your inventory, you are ready to
define the Categories. Return to the Category Definition screen, and
enter the values that cover the range of your cotton.
Note : As stated previously, you should give a great deal of thought to
the Category Definition before you initially assign the definition so that
you will not have to change the definition.
When cotton is warehoused by bale number; it is possible to change the
Category Definition with less impact on the warehouse.
