Catalog Organization

FX EAM provides a way to label, categorize, and define catalog items.

  • Divide the catalog into groups called Nouns.

  • Further divide Noun groups into sections with Modifiers.

Instead of Nouns and Modifiers, the catalog can use UNSPSC codes.

Those codes are standardized and provide four levels of classification instead of two.

Nouns
