Spend Categories by Commodity Area

Spend Categories are used to identify or describe what is being purchased, not what the item will be used for.  For Example, an ink cartridge for a color printer that will be used to print marketing materials would fall under SC10486 Office Supplies, not SC10316 Advertising – Other.

It is important to accurately record what is being purchased by using the correct Spend Category so that the University, departments, and units, as well as Procurement Services, can track spending and can compile data on purchases. 

Spend Category data can be used to determine if a University Wide Contract should be negotiated, if the purchase qualifies as an asset, and whether or not the item needs to be tagged by inventory control.  Spend Category data is also helpful when attempting to negotiate contracts, when analyzing expenses, and when creating and monitoring budgets.

In the chart below, the Spend Categories have been arranged by Commodity Area. 

The Spend Category Name should identify what is purchased and the description of the Spend Category should confirm that this category describes what is being purchased. 

If the Spend Category is designated as equipment, it indicates that the purchase is moveable equipment with a unit acquisition cost of at least $5,000 and which has a useful life of one year or more.  These items are considered assets in Workday and must be tagged by inventory control.
