Creating commodity code structures

Commodity codes are used to classify products and services and help create reports that reflect spending patterns. Commodity Code Structures are used to show the number of segments and the size of a commodity code.

Use this procedure to define a structure for the commodity codes in your system. Commodity structures can be established for each item group in the Supply Management suite.
