A material or service type represents a set of materials or services that a supplier is able to supply.

Additionally, Qualified is selected and the Qualified Date is set. If the DBA setting is set to N, the Classification default value is 'Not qualified', and Qualified and Qualified Date are not set.

   • For materials and services entered and submitted via Portal, Classification is set to 'Hold', and the Qualified check box and Qualified Date are not set.

   • Changing the classification to a value other than 'Not qualified' sets the status to Pending.
