Koble Payments Classification Codes for Inventory Items

Classification Codes

Visa and Mastercard will discount processing fees when products contain Level 3 classification codes during the sale and payment. Missing classification codes do not block the sales processing but may affect the ability to discount Koble payment card processing contracts.

Complete the following steps to configure payment classification codes:

Open the product record Classification tab. This tab will show only when Koble Payments is installed. Review Koble Payments Portal for more information on Koble Payments.

Recording Product Codes - Harmonized System Codes:

1. Open the Harmonized System Codes (HS) page on the International Trade Association website and locate the Harmonized System code for the product.
2. Search by product in the Schedule B Search Tool or browse through the yearly Schedule B Book. Use the most recent year in the list.
3. Search for the product in the search tool or browse the most recent yearly code list until you identify the Harmonized System (HS) code for the product.
4. Note: HS codes cover everything from high-level product groups to very specific product types. Use the numeric codes to keep track of the level. For example: Code 04 covers "Dairy Produce; Birds' Eggs; Natural Honey; Edible Products of Animal Origin, Not Elsewhere Specified or Included", Code 0406 covers "Cheese and curd", and individual product codes within 0406 include 0406.40.000 (Blue-veined cheese and other cheese containing veins produced by Pencillium roqueforti) and 0406.90.1000 (Cheddar cheese). The longer the code, the more specific the product type. 
5. Record the appropriate HS code for the product.

Recording Product Codes - NAPCS:

1. Open the North American Product Classification System (NAPCS) hyperlink and locate the NAPCS code for the product. Look for the header tab called NAPCS Reference Files and pick the most recent file.
2. Tap the latest XLSX file link.
3. Search the Excel file for both the retail and wholesale NAPCS codes.
4. Record both Retail and Wholesale codes from NAPCS.

Save codes as Koble Payment Classification Codes and repeat for additional products or product groups.

Note: Koble Payment Classification Codes can be filtered down within product categories if an entire category contains the same codes. Creating defaults and filtering down data can reduce the amount of time to set codes.

1. Review Edit Defaults, Filter Down Data, and Globally Change Data to classification codes for a group of products.
2. Review Vendor Catalogs > Add or Manipulate Data or Fields.
