Entering Commodity Codes

Users should make sure to enter the appropriate commodity code when adding a line item in NC E-Procurement. This helps the State in determining what commodities are being purchased and what commodities should be on state contract for better pricing. If a good is being purchased, the user should select a non 900 commodity code. A 900 commodity code should be selected when adding a service line item. For Non-Catalog items, the 'Item Classification' indicator defaults based on the commodity code selected. Catalog items have commodity codes pre-loaded for user's convenience. For non-catalog items, users can search for a commodity code in NC E-Procurement by typing the commodity code or the item description. Commodity Codes can also be found on P&C's webpage.
