Vendor Classification Subtask

Use this subtask of the Manage Vendors screen to enter information about the legal classifications of your vendors.

Although there are no standard Costpoint reports from which to extract this information, you can extract this data via any reporting tool.

For vendors whose details are updated from GovWin IQ, the mapping done on the Manage Socio-Economic Status screen determines which checkboxes are selected for the vendor in this subtask.
