    Commodity codes are used to classify goods and services.  You can assign a commodity code to each item in the Item Master.

    FOURA uses the United Nations Standard Products and Services Codes (UNSPSC).  UNSPSC Codes are broken down into groups arranged from general to specific as follows:

    Group Description
    Segment A group of products and services tied to a general segment intended for high-level reporting (very general)
    Family A group of inter-related products and service classes
    Class A futher breakdown of products and services sharing common characteristics
    Commodity Classes are further grouped into prodects and services with interchangeable variations (very specific)

    FOURA is pre-configured with the Segment and Family codes (about 470 codes).  If you require furthur detail when classifying your items you can define additional class or commodity values as needed.
