Top level categories are loaded by Elcom and represent a current release of the UNSPSC code. Although PECOS P2P will allow you to create new top level categories not covered by UNSPSC codes, you should review your organisation or eMarketplace best practice policy to ensure that creating a new category is allowed. A Dynamic Option exists to prevent new category codes from being created.
