Vendor Commodity Codes Tab

The Vendor Commodity Codes tab is used to assign commodity codes to this vendor. A commodity code may be added only by a Purchasing Department staff member.

The Purchasing Department assigns commodity codes to vendors in order to track spending by category. A vendor may be assigned multiple commodity codes. For example, a local company that both prints and designs documents might have two different commodity codes, one for printing and one for design.

     Commodity Codes may be added to the vendor record automatically from Purchase Orders that contain commodity codes that do not yet exist on the vendor record. The first commodity code added, in this way, will be made the default for the vendor. This automatic addition can be disabled by setting the system parameter AUTO_ADD_COMMODITY_CODES_TO_VENDOR_IND = N.

   For information about adding commodity codes, see Commodity Code.
