Commodity Class Codes Page

Use this page to update the Commodity Class codes assigned to a vendor. You can add up to 100 codes to a vendor's record.
Commodity Class codes are taken from the first three digits of the codes in the Purchasing System's Commodity table. Once tied to a vendor, these codes are used for generating mailing labels in the Vendor Bidding System's Bid List Mailing Labels report option.

For more information on commodity class codes, refer to Commodity Table and Commodity Table: Concepts.
