UNSPSC Code

If you want to track items by UNSPSC code separately or in addition to a commodity, you enter the UNSPSC code at the item master level. When you enter a requisition for a stock item, the system uses the UNSPSC code and the commodity associated with the item in the F4102 table.

However, you might want to enter a UNSPSC code for a commodity that does not have an item, such as a services commodity. To accomplish this, use the Commodity Structure program to associate the commodity with the UNSPSC code. When a user enters a requisition, the system retrieves the UNSPSC code from the associated commodity. Use the UNSPSC and Commodity program (P40510) to establish a one-to-one relationship between commodity codes and UNSPSC codes. The system uses the association when you enter a commodity and throughout the requisition and purchase order process. When you enter a requisition, the system retrieves the UNSPSC code from the associated commodity. The system stores the associations in the UNSPSC and Commodity Structure table (F40510). The system stores UNSPSC code relationship information in the F40510 table.

Note: You can download a complete list of the UNSPSC codes from the UNSPSC website (www.UNSPSC.com). When you download the codes, the system stores them in the F40241 table. The visual assist for the UNSPSC field is attached to this table.
