UNSPSC

In the ever-evolving landscape of product classification, staying up-to-date with the latest standards is crucial for organisations aiming to maintain data accuracy and streamline operations. Many organisations rely on the United Nations Standard Products and Services Code (UNSPSC) to categorise their products, yet a significant number are still operating with outdated versions. This can lead to inconsistencies, inefficiencies, and potential errors in data management.

What is Version 26 of UNSPSC?

Version 26.0801 of the UNSPSC Code set includes 511 changes, consisting of 449 new items and 56 edits to existing ones, bringing the total to 158,449 items. These changes impact various levels of the UNSPSC taxonomy, affecting a wide range of product categories, services, and industries.

Background

The UNSPSC product classification code set has a hierarchical structure with four levels: Segment, Family, Class, and Commodity. Managed by GS1 US since 2003, UNSPSC is one of the most widely adopted classification standards in the healthcare industry, among others. It is an open, comprehensive, free, and hierarchical global classification system, critical for product master data management (MDM).

The Challenge of Outdated UNSPSC Standards

Operating with an outdated UNSPSC version poses several challenges:

– Inconsistent Data: Outdated classifications can result in data inconsistencies, affecting reporting and analytics.

– Inefficiency: Manual updates to classification systems are time-consuming and prone to errors.

– Inaccurate Reporting: Discrepancies in product classification can lead to inaccurate reporting, impacting decision-making processes.
