Understanding Commodity Codes

When ordering Non-Catalog items or using forms, you will need to input a commodity code for each item. While Hosted and Punchout orders automatically input these codes for you, for all other orders, you will need to refer to the Commodity Code Cheat Sheet in order to determine which code to use.

4. Select the code by clicking the blue + symbol to the right of the code and it will fill into the Commodity Code section. Proceed with the rest of your order
