Before you start

Maintain items and categories, request materials, obtain quotations, purchase and receive goods, control warehouses and trace stock. Supplier onboarding, UNSPSC categories, federal logistics references and scanning belong here.

ERP links open in a new tab. Sign in with your own account; record visibility, actions and approval authority follow your assigned permissions. Screens can differ by company and configuration.

Step-by-step instructions

  1. Open the item or supplier category selector in the applicable record or portal.
  2. Choose the broad Category, then Segment, Family and Class. Each choice limits the next level.
  3. Select the relevant Commodity and add the category. Review the full selected path before saving.
  4. Save the Item or Supplier and verify the intended Item Group or supplier category appears.

Check the result

Return to the saved record or relevant list and verify the intended values, links and status. Check the role-restricted portal or report when it is part of this task. A successful save, approval, submission and external payment are different events.

Troubleshooting

Do not create a separate free-text UNSPSC catalogue entry. The configured hierarchy is held in the ERP item groups and supplier groups/categories.

If the task is blocked, record the page name, operation, error text and time. Contact Support through an authorized channel. Remove passwords and unnecessary personal information from screenshots.
