# Material Classification Cube

This cube collects Material Classification events, currently only focusing on Material Binning. The information gathered here is useful for calculating material Binning related indicators, such as first pass yield, binning volume or percentage and product quality distribution.

## Dimensions

This section describes the dimensions of the Material Classification Cube

![cubes34][cubes34]

**Area** - Area where the Classification Event was made

**Classification Type** - Describes the Classification type. Possible values are 'Binning' or 'Loss'  

**Classification** - Classification name and value. Currently it holds the Bin values

**Material** - Main material of the classification

**Product** - Product of classification's main material

**Classification Material** - If the classification created a new material (or continues the same one), this dimension will contain the result material

**Classification Product** - Product of the classification material (if applicable)

**Date** - Date of the classification event

**Time** - Time of the classification event

**Employee** - Employee that was responsible for the classification

**Flow** - Flow name where the classification was made

**Reason** - If the classification action produced a loss (e.g. a loss bin), this will contain the Loss Reason description

**Resource** - Resource where the classification was made (if applicable)

**Primary Unit** - Primary units of the classification main material. Note that the classification quantities always represent primary units

**Secondary Unit** - Secondary units of the classification main material

**Shift** - Shift where the classification was made

**Step** - Step where the classification was made

## Measure Groups

There are two measure groups in the Material Classification Cube.

* Material Classification

* Material Classification Detail

## Material Classification

This section describes the Material Classification Measure Group.

This measure group mainly contains values related to the Classification's main material.

![cubes35][cubes35]

**Material Classification Count** - Number of classification events currently selected

**Primary Quantity** - Sum of the primary quantity of the main material **before** the classification event

**Secondary Quantity** - Same as above but for the secondary quantity

**Primary Quantity After Classification** - Sum of the primary quantity of the main material **after** the classification event. If the classification event did not affect the material quantity, this quantity will be the same as the primary quantity before classification.

**Sub Materials Primary Quantity** - Sum of the sub materials primary quantity (if any) of the main material **after** the classification event

**Sub Materials Secondary Quantity** - Sum of the sub materials secondary quantity (if any) of the main material **after** the classification event

## Material Classification Detail

This section describes the Material Classification Detail Measure Group.

The measures here presented are related to the materials created during classification or, if applicable, to the loss quantity created by the classification event.

![cubes36][cubes36]

**Material Classification Detail Count** - Number of classification detail events. This value represents the number of materials or losses that result after the classification event. You can use the **Classification Type** Dimension to drill down this values

**Classification Primary Quantity** - Sum of the classification primary quantity. This value can contain the material primary quantity of the loss quantity. As in the measure above, you can use the **Classification Type** Dimension to drill down this values
