Creditor Categories {FPMC-1}


Tertiary institutions buy an exceptionally wide variety of supplies and services from a wide spectrum of suppliers, the acquisitions being done for an equally wide spectrum of consumers/departments. The need thus arises to classify suppliers in various ways. 



The system makes provision for classification at three levels, i.e. categories, commodities supplied and types. 


At the commodity level the user can link multiple records to one creditor, but a creditor can be linked to only one category and one type. The category and type classifications may be used to describe a creditor for external and internal purposes.

Creditor Categories may be used for classifying creditors as e.g.
Standard Creditors on Order Subscriptions Annual Contractors Rental Contracts, etc.


Fields in the option:

Block 1:  Creditor categories

Field Type

Length		 Description
Code A2  Unique number for this category
Description A30 E.g. "Annual Contractor".

The use of this classification facility is optional. If it is not used, one record must be created which will be used for all creditors, e.g. "Standard Category".
