If you've noticed differences in the performance badges (Fantastic, Moderate, Poor, Idle) displayed across different sections of Fabrikatör, you're not seeing an error. This is by design and reflects different analytical dimensions being used.
How ABC Analysis Badges Differ By Screen
On Reports
ABC analysis is based on product groups by default
A product group can be classified as Fantastic (A-class) even if it contains some idle variants
The classification considers the aggregate performance of all variants within the product group
On Replenish and PO Screens
ABC analysis is displayed at the variant level
Each individual variant has its own performance classification
You might see different badges for variants within the same product group
Example Scenario
Imagine a product group "Summer T-shirt" with three variants:
"Summer T-shirt - Small (Blue)" - High sales, contributes significantly to revenue
"Summer T-shirt - Medium (Blue)" - Moderate sales
"Summer T-shirt - Large (Blue)" - No sales in the analysis period
On Reports (by default):
The entire "Summer T-shirt" product group might be classified as Fantastic (A) because the combined sales of all variants place it in the top 80% of revenue
On Replenish or PO screens:
"Summer T-shirt - Small (Blue)" might show as Fantastic (A)
"Summer T-shirt - Medium (Blue)" might show as Moderate (B)
"Summer T-shirt - Large (Blue)" would show as Idle
Changing the Dimension on Reports
You can switch between viewing performance by product group or by variant in the Reports section:
Navigate to the Reports section
Look for the "Dimension" dropdown or filter
Change from the "Product Group" to "Variant"
Click on the "Columns" or "Customize" button
Look for "Variant Sales Performance" in the available columns list
Your report will refresh to show variant-level ABC classifications
This flexibility allows you to analyze your inventory performance from different perspectives based on your current needs.
Which View Should I Use?

Product Group View (Reports default)
Helpful for strategic decision-making
Provides a broader picture of product line performance
Useful for category-level analysis and merchandising decisions
Variant View (Replenish and PO screens)
Essential for tactical inventory management
Provides granular insights for reordering decisions
Helps identify specific variants that may need attention despite being part of a successful product group
