Adding a Specialty Code

Vendor Work codes are used to classify a vendor's type of business in reports required by the federal and state government agencies that provide DBE programs.

To add a new specialty code for this vendor, click the New button in the Specialty section on the Work Codes tab. Enter information in these fields:

Specialty codes are unique for active records. You cannot have multiple records with the same specialty code.

It is not required, but you can enter information in these fields to record additional information for the specialty code:

Note: Saving a date in the Status Change Date field locks the specialty code row so that no future changes can be made. You must enter a reason for the change in the Remarks field before you can save the date. Once status and remarks are entered and saved, the record becomes read-only and cannot be changed.

When you have finished adding information, save the new Specialty code to the system by clicking the Save button. Once created, the record cannot be deleted. The system displays a message to confirm that the new Specialty code was added to the system.

If you want to add more than one specialty code, click the New Specialty Code button when you have finished entering information for the current specialty code. The system automatically saves the current row and displays a new blank row. Follow the same steps to continue adding as many specialty codes as needed.
