What is Material Classification :
Material classification is the systematic grouping and arranging of materials according to certain logical categories.
Example: Class code (5010), is forTRANSFORMERS, CURRENT, RATED 1 KV OR LESS
Second LEVEL: Identifies the item type under the main group
CURRENT, RATED 1 KV
First LEVEL: Identifies the main group
TRANSFORMERS
The Current Classification

Negative aspects of current Classification Codes
1. Multiple classification methodology (stations - type turbine ..)
2.The existence of more than one group in one classification code.
3. The inability of Classification to contain the types of materials for a single commodity group.

The new mechanism of Classification Codes (UNSPSC)
MATERIAL TYPE 26 POWER GENERATING EQUIPMENT
MATERIAL GROUP 2652 GAS TURBINE GENERATOR
MATERIAL SUB GROUP 265253 GAS TURBINE GENERATOR, COMBUSTER
CLASS CODE
(commodities) 265253053 COMBUSTER BASKET
The Classification Mechanism based on four levels for each commodity group:
United Nations Standard Products and Services Code (UNSPSC)
The New Classification (UNSPSC)

Benefits of the project:
• Easy searching and reporting.
• Speciality in managing the work.
• To let suppliers/vendors easily identify commodity groups in order to let them supply materials by speciality.
• Precise value determination of the commodity groups in stock.
• Apply the best international practices in the classification of
materials (UNSPSC).
