This fonction is used to configurate the assignment classes linked to the containersProduct and to the locations.

An assignment class may be used to take into account storage constraints such as:
- heavy product, bulky product, dangerous product, or any other element specific to a product.

It is possible for each location to define a priority assignment class, such a concept also being linked to the product containers. Based on a process identical to the one used for ABC classes, when it comes to searching for a location, the system will try to match the class of the location and the class of the product container.

For instance: The levels '0' and '1' of a pallet rack, especially adapted for the storage of heavy products, are assigned to class H. The heavier products (in Kg per pallet, for example) will also be assigned to class H.

The assignment class represents one of the 5 common criteria to products and locations allowing optimization when putting items away in Warehousing.

The other criteria are: Store,  ABC class, Container, Depositor

Finally, the sequence of classes is used to give the order in which the classes must be investigated to the system. The use of the sequence rules is authorized by the setup of the Input mode.

Note: The sequence rule can only be defined after the corresponding classes have been created, the system will then perform an existence check on the entered values.
