Hello everyone,

I work at a consulting company and our clients are companies with immense amount of purchased goods - for example automation and robotics assembly, or a hospital. We are struggling with how to approach the S 3\_1 CF calculations, for example the hospital purchases **26 thousand various items** in **one month** only.

Any tips? Would cathegorizing help (creating groups such as “medicine”, “small electrical components” etc.)?

Thank you,
