PReqs Application Change:

July 1, 2007 Purchasing moved to a different Category Code structure. Previously we used the NIGP category codes and changed to the UNSPSC (United Nations Standard Products and Services Code).

Catergory Codes in PReqs:

• The Category code is located in the line items of the PReq form. Category codes were five digits and the new structure is eight digits
• The only changes you will see are the length of the category codes and the description of the category codes on the Category search page
