Supplier Class.
Paste Special    Contact Classifications setting, CRM module
Enter a Classification Code in this field if you want to analyse the performance of consumable Items purchased from Suppliers with a certain Classification.

If you enter a number of Classifications separated by commas, only Items purchased from those Suppliers featuring all the Classifications listed will be included. If you enter a number of Classifications separated by plus signs (+), Items purchased from all Suppliers featuring at least one of the Classifications listed will be included. If you enter a Classification preceded by an exclamation mark (!), Items purchased from all Suppliers featuring any Classification except the one listed will be included.
