What Is It?
As you select items from the Marketplace, the Category Codes associated with the product are systematically populated for each item in your cart. In addition, the default Natural Account mapped to the Category Code is populated. You should ensure that the Category Code and associated Account are correct and, if necessary, edit the Category Code and/or Account. Refer to the Procurement Category Codes and Natural Accounts job aid.
