• In case of COFOR CODE, the code must be 10 digits long using spacebar in order to reach the standard 10 digits length (e.g. ABCDEF 01 -> ABCDEFspacebarspacebar01). 1 spacebar counts like 1 digit.
• If you need to enter a code that starts with 15, supplier code must be 10 digits long.

The COFOR codes have the format: AAAAAA  01. Supplier Root Security Administrators (RSA) can find the COFORS assigned to their existing regional codes. Supplier users who are not RSAs should contact their RSA in order to know their COFOR code.

If your COFOR has not been created yet you can still use your FGP group code (i.e.:15xxxxxxxx) for your day to day job.
