The ABC analysis report categorizes your products based on how often they are picked. A products are your most important products that are picked the most, while C products are picked the least. Use this report to optimize your warehouse layout and place your most important products in the most accessible spots.
See ABC analysis for a detailed explanation of how the categorization works and how to organize your warehouse based on the results.

The report also shows which products have recently changed category. For example, a product that moved from B to A because it was picked more often during the past period. This helps you keep your warehouse layout up to date.
