# ABC analysis report

> Categorize your products by pick frequency and optimize your warehouse layout.

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](/en/support/abc-analysis) for a detailed explanation of how the categorization works and how to organize your warehouse based on the results.

### What do you see per product?

| Column                    | Description                                                 |
| ------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Title**                 | The name of the product                                     |
| **EAN**                   | The product's EAN code                                      |
| **SKU**                   | The SKU number                                              |
| **ABC category**          | A, B or C                                                   |
| **Pick frequency**        | The number of picks over the past 90 days                   |
| **Cumulative percentage** | Where the product falls in the cumulative pick distribution |
| **Available stock**       | The current quantity in stock                               |

### Summary

At the top of the report you see a summary per category:

| Metric                 | Description                                      |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| **Number of products** | How many products fall into each category        |
| **Number of picks**    | The total number of picks per category           |
| **Percentage**         | What share of all picks each category represents |

### Shifts

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.

### Filtering

You can filter by **ABC category** to view only products from a specific category. This way you can, for example, show only your A products to check whether they are placed in the right [locations](/en/support/location-management).

### Good to know

- The analysis looks at the pick frequency of the **past 90 days**.

- If you use [pick lists](/en/support/working-with-pick-lists), picks are used. Otherwise, how often a product appears in orders is used.

- The analysis is updated automatically **every night**.

- It is about how often an employee has to walk to a product, not about the number of units that are picked.
