The Supplier Category is a non-mandatory classification for Suppliers, depending on their importance to the company's operation. Terms such as Strategic, Core Leverage etc. may be used, where they have economic significance to the company. There is no connection between this and the classification by Supplier Type, which is concerned with the range of product or service provided.
