Category Codes

Use this form to set up Category Codes, which are a way for similar item codes to be grouped together. A category code is used as a filter; it narrows down the list of available item codes when creating a purchase order or requisition.

If you plan on using category codes you must have previously set up item codes (Maintain>Purchase Orders>Item Codes). After you create category codes here, assign item codes to category codes (Maintain>Purchase Orders>Category/Item Code Assignments).

You can also use category codes to enforce amount limits for requests and approval amounts in the Electronic Requisitions module.

The following tabs are available on the Category Codes form. Click the link to view detailed information about each tab:
