                                          Technical Observe


Transient Clarification of Producer Value Indexes

   The Producer Value Index (PPI) of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) is a household of 
indexes that measures the typical change over time in costs acquired (value modifications) by 
producers for domestically produced items, companies, and building.  PPIs measure 
value change from the angle of the vendor.  This contrasts with different measures, 
such because the Client Value Index (CPI).  CPIs measure value change from the purchaser's 
perspective.  

   Greater than 10,000 PPIs for particular person merchandise and teams of merchandise are launched every 
month. PPIs can be found for the merchandise of most industries within the mining and 
manufacturing sectors. Over time, new PPIs have been launched for merchandise of 
industries within the companies and building sectors of the U.S. financial system. As of January
2023, the PPI lined 69 p.c of companies as measured by 2017 Census income, and 17
p.c of building.

   Greater than 44,000 value quotations per 30 days are organized into three units of PPIs: 
(1) Remaining demand-Intermediate demand (FD-ID) indexes, (2) commodity indexes, and (3) 
indexes for the web output of industries and their merchandise.  The FD-ID construction 
organizes merchandise by class of purchaser and diploma of fabrication in addition to by stage of 
manufacturing.  The commodity construction organizes merchandise by similarity of finish use or 
product sort.  Your complete output of varied industries is sampled to derive value indexes 
for the web output of industries and their merchandise. 


Remaining Demand-Intermediate Demand Indexes

   The PPI FD-ID construction measures value change for items, companies, and building 
bought to last demand and to intermediate demand. The FD-ID system changed the PPI stage-
of-processing (SOP) system as PPI's main aggregation mannequin with the discharge of information 
for January 2014. The FD-ID mannequin expands protection past that of the SOP system by means of 
the addition of companies, building, exports, and authorities purchases.  

   In contrast with completed items beneath the SOP system, the PPI for last demand items 
contains almost a 50 p.c enlargement of protection. This improve might be traced to the 
addition of presidency purchases and exports. For total last demand, enlargement to 
embrace last demand companies represents a fair bigger improve in protection. In December 
2025, last demand items had been about 29.1 p.c of total last demand, last demand 
companies had been roughly 68.3 p.c, and last demand building was about 2.6 p.c 
of ultimate demand. Inside intermediate demand, protection of companies for intermediate demand 
has resulted in a couple of 55 p.c improve in protection of the intermediate demand portion  
of the financial system. 

   FD-ID indexes are constructed from commodity-based producer output value indexes.  
Commodities are allotted to mixture indexes based totally on the kind of purchaser.  The 
fundamental supply of information used to find out the kind of purchaser is the "Use of commodities by 
industries, earlier than redefinition," desk from the Benchmark Enter-Output Accounts of the 
U.S. In lots of instances, the identical commodity is bought by various kinds of consumers.  As a 
outcome, commodities are sometimes included in a number of FD-ID indexes.  For instance, common 
gasoline is bought for private consumption, export, authorities use, and enterprise use. 
The PPI program publishes just one commodity index for normal gasoline (wpu057104), 
reflecting gross sales to all kinds of consumers, and this index is utilized in all aggregations 
no matter whether or not the gasoline is bought for private consumption, as an export, to 
authorities, or to companies.  Proportions based mostly on BEA "Use of Commodities" information are 
used to allocate the right portion of the overall weight of gasoline to every use 
class.  In instances when purchaser sort is a crucial value figuring out attribute, 
indexes are created based mostly on particular purchaser sort. For instance, inside the PPI class 
for mortgage companies, separate indexes for shopper loans and enterprise loans had been 
constructed. For extra info referring to the FD-ID construction, see "A brand new, 
experimental system of indexes from the PPI program" within the February 2011 Month-to-month Labor 
Overview.   

Remaining Demand:  The ultimate demand portion of the FD-ID construction measures value change for 
commodities bought for private consumption, capital funding, authorities, and export.  
The system consists of six fundamental value indexes: last demand items; last demand commerce 
companies; last demand transportation and warehousing companies; last demand companies 
much less commerce, transportation, and warehousing; last demand building; and total last 
demand. 

   The ultimate demand items index measures value change for each unprocessed and processed 
items bought to last demand.  Recent fruits bought to shoppers and computer systems bought for 
capital funding are examples of transactions included within the last demand items value 
index. The ultimate demand commerce companies index measures value change for the retailing and 
wholesaling of merchandise bought to last demand, typically with out transformation. (Commerce 
indexes measure modifications in margins acquired by wholesalers and retailers.) The ultimate 
demand transportation and warehousing companies index tracks value change for 
transportation of passengers, in addition to, transportation of cargo bought to last demand, 
and in addition contains costs for warehousing and storage of products bought to last demand.  The 
last demand companies much less commerce, transportation, and warehousing index measures value 
change for all companies aside from commerce and transportation bought to last demand.  
Publishing, banking, lodging, and well being care are examples of those companies.  The ultimate 
demand building index tracks value change for brand spanking new building, in addition to 
upkeep and restore building bought to last demand.  Development of workplace 
buildings is an instance of a commodity that may be included within the last demand 
building index.  Lastly, the general last demand index tracks value change for all 
kinds of commodities bought to last demand by combining the 5 last demand part 
indexes described above.

Intermediate Demand: The intermediate demand portion of the FD-ID system tracks value 
change for items, companies, and building merchandise bought to companies as inputs to 
manufacturing, excluding capital funding. The system contains two parallel remedies of 
intermediate demand. The primary therapy organizes intermediate demand commodities by 
sort. The second organizes intermediate demand commodities into manufacturing levels, with 
the specific aim of creating a forward-flow mannequin of manufacturing and value change. 

   The intermediate demand by commodity sort portion of the system organizes commodities 
by similarity of product.  The system consists of six fundamental value indexes: unprocessed 
items for intermediate demand; processed items for intermediate demand; intermediate 
demand commerce companies; intermediate demand transportation and warehousing companies; 
intermediate demand companies much less commerce, transportation, and warehousing; and 
intermediate demand building.   

   The unprocessed items for intermediate demand value index measures value change for 
items bought to companies as inputs to manufacturing which have undergone no fabrication. 
Crude petroleum bought to refineries is an instance of an unprocessed good bought to 
intermediate demand.  The processed items for intermediate demand index tracks value 
change for fabricated items bought as enterprise inputs.  Examples embrace automobile elements bought to 
automobile producers and gasoline bought to trucking firms.  The index for commerce companies 
for intermediate demand measures value change for the companies of retailing and 
wholesaling items bought by companies as inputs to manufacturing. The intermediate 
demand transportation and warehousing companies index measures value change for enterprise 
journey, in addition to, transportation and warehousing of cargo bought to intermediate demand.  
The intermediate demand companies much less commerce, transportation, and warehousing index 
measures value change for companies aside from commerce, transportation, and warehousing bought 
as inputs to manufacturing.  Authorized and accounting companies bought by companies are 
examples of intermediate demand companies excluding commerce, transportation, and 
warehousing.  Lastly, the development for intermediate demand index measures value 
change for building bought by companies as inputs to manufacturing.  The index for 
building for intermediate demand tracks value change for upkeep and restore 
building bought by companies.  

   The manufacturing move therapy of intermediate demand is a stage-based system of value 
indexes. These indexes can be utilized to review value transmission throughout levels of 
manufacturing and last demand. This method is constructed in a fashion that maximizes 
ahead move of manufacturing between levels, whereas minimizing back-flow of manufacturing. The 
manufacturing move therapy comprises 4 fundamental indexes: intermediate demand stage 1, 
intermediate demand stage 2, intermediate demand stage 3, and intermediate demand stage 
4.   

   Indexes for the 4 levels had been developed by first assigning every {industry} within the 
financial system to one among 4 levels of manufacturing, the place industries assigned to the fourth 
stage primarily produce output consumed as last demand, industries within the third stage 
primarily produce output consumed by stage 4 industries, industries assigned to the 
second stage primarily produce output consumed by stage 3 industries, and industries 
assigned to the primary stage produce output primarily consumed by stage 2 industries.  The 
4 indexes then observe costs for the web inputs consumed by industries in every of the 
4 levels of manufacturing.  The stage 4 intermediate demand index, for instance, tracks 
value change for inputs consumed, however not produced, by industries included within the fourth 
stage of manufacturing.  Therefore, the index tracks value change in inputs to industries that 
primarily produce last demand commodities (stage 4 producers primarily produce 
commodities bought to last demand).  

   Examples of closely weighted goods-producing industries in stage 4 embrace the 
manufacture of sunshine vans and utility autos, cars, and prescribed drugs.  
Retail commerce, meals service and consuming locations, and hospitals are examples of closely 
weighted service industries included in stage 4.  Stage 4 additionally contains all new 
building industries.  Examples of products consumed by stage 4 industries embrace motor 
automobile elements, industrial electrical energy, plastic building merchandise, organic 
merchandise, and beef and veal.  Engineering companies, equipment and gear wholesaling, 
lengthy distance motor carrying, and authorized companies represent examples of companies consumed 
by stage 4 industries.

   Examples of extremely weighted goods-producing industries included in stage 3 are motor 
automobile elements manufacturing, animal (besides poultry) slaughtering and processing, and 
semiconductor manufacturing.  Providers industries categorised in stage 3 embrace wholesale 
commerce; insurance coverage carriers; structure, engineering, and associated companies; and lodges 
and motels.  Examples of products consumed by stage 3 industries embrace slaughter steers 
and heifers, industrial electrical energy, and sizzling rolled metal bars, plates, and structural 
shapes.  Providers generally consumed by stage 3 industries embrace commissions from gross sales 
of property and casualty insurance coverage, enterprise loans, non permanent assist companies, and 
administrative and basic administration consulting companies.

   Petroleum refineries; electrical energy era, transmission, and distribution; pure 
fuel distribution; cattle ranching and farming; and plastic supplies and resin 
manufacturing are among the many goods-based industries assigned to stage 2.  Providers 
industries which can be closely weighted in stage 2 embrace administration of firms and 
enterprises; non-depository credit score intermediation; insurance coverage businesses and brokerages; and 
companies to buildings and dwellings. Items generally bought by stage 2 industries 
embrace crude oil, pure fuel, components feeds, and first primary natural chemical substances. 
Providers which can be closely weighted within the intermediate demand stage 2 index are authorized 
companies, enterprise loans, and cellular telephone and different wi-fi telecommunication.

   Items producing industries in stage 1 embrace oil and fuel extraction, paper mills, and 
grain farming.  Actual property, authorized companies, and promoting companies are examples of 
extremely weighted companies industries included in stage 1.  Examples of products consumed by 
stage 1 industries are industrial and industrial electrical energy and gasoline. Providers 
generally consumed by stage 1 industries embrace strong waste assortment, chemical substances and 
allied merchandise wholesaling, and guestroom or unit rental.  It must be famous that every one 
inputs bought by stage 1 industries are by definition produced both inside stage 1 
or by latter levels of processing, leaving stage 1 much less helpful for value transmission 
evaluation. For added info on {industry} stage assignments, see www.bls.gov/ppi/
fd-id/ppi-intermediate-demand-by-production-flow-industry-stage-assignments.htm.


Evaluating the PPI with CPI

   Though some information customers make the most of the PPI as a possible indicator of the Client 
Value Index (CPI), there are lots of the explanation why the PPI and the CPI might diverge. The scope 
of the non-public consumption portion of the PPI contains all marketable output bought by 
home producers for households. The scope of the CPI contains items and companies 
offered by enterprise or authorities, the place express person costs are paid by shoppers. 
For instance, probably the most closely weighted merchandise within the CPI, homeowners' equal hire, is 
excluded from the PPI. The scope of the CPI contains imports. The PPI excludes imports. 
The CPI solely contains parts of non-public consumption straight paid for by the 
shoppers, whereas the PPI contains parts of non-public consumption that might not be paid 
for by shoppers. For instance, the CPI contains property insurance coverage premiums paid by 
shoppers, whereas the PPI contains each the premiums paid by shoppers in addition to the 
return earned on the invested portion of these premiums. In distinction to CPI, PPI doesn't 
utterly cowl companies. PPIs exclude taxes, since they don't symbolize producer 
income. Conversely, gross sales and different taxes paid by shoppers are a part of family 
expenditure and are included within the CPI. Further technical variations between PPI and 
CPI additionally exist. For extra info see "Evaluating new last demand producer value 
indexes with different Authorities value indexes," Month-to-month Labor Overview, January 2014, at 
www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/.


Commodity Indexes

   The commodity classification of the PPI organizes items, companies, and building by 
similarity of product or finish use, disregarding {industry} of origin. With the discharge of 
information for July 2009, PPI expanded its commodity construction to incorporate indexes for companies 
and building merchandise. Previous to this date, the PPI commodity construction solely included 
merchandise from items producing sectors. Desk 9 of the PPI Detailed Report contains information 
for commodity indexes, organized in a hierarchal construction, together with main groupings, 
subgroups, product courses, sub-product courses, and particular person gadgets.


Trade Internet-Output Value Indexes

   PPIs for the web output of industries and their merchandise are grouped in keeping with the 
North American Trade Classification System (NAICS).  Previous to the discharge of January 
2004, industry-based PPIs had been printed in keeping with the Commonplace Industrial 
Classification (SIC) system.  Trade value indexes are suitable with different financial 
time sequence organized by {industry}, akin to information on employment, wages, and productiveness.  
Desk 11 of the PPI Detailed Report contains information for NAICS industries and {industry} 
teams (3-, 4-, 5-, and 6-digit codes), Census product courses (7- and 8-digit codes), 
merchandise (9-digit codes), extra detailed sub-products (11-digit codes), and, for some 
industries, indexes for different sources of income.

   Indexes might symbolize one among three sorts of product classes.  Each {industry} has 
main product indexes that present modifications in costs acquired by institutions categorised 
within the {industry} for merchandise made primarily, however not essentially solely, by that 
{industry}. The {industry} classification of an institution is decided by which merchandise 
make up a plurality of its whole cargo worth.  As well as, most industries have 
secondary product indexes that present modifications in costs acquired by institutions for 
merchandise mainly made in another {industry}. Some industries have miscellaneous receipts 
indexes that observe value modifications for different sources of income acquired by institutions 
inside the {industry} that aren't derived from gross sales of their merchandise; for instance, 
resales of bought supplies, or revenues from parking heaps owned by a producing 
plant.


Information Assortment

   PPIs are constructed utilizing promoting costs reported by institutions of all sizes, 
chosen by chance sampling, with the chance of choice proportionate to
measurement. Particular person gadgets and transaction phrases are also chosen by chance proportionate 
to measurement. BLS strongly encourages cooperating firms to produce precise transaction 
costs on the time of cargo to reduce the usage of record costs. Costs submitted 
by survey respondents are efficient on the Tuesday of the week containing the thirteenth day 
of the month. The survey is carried out on-line by way of the BLS Web Information Assortment 
Facility (IDCF).) Information offered by survey respondents are supplemented with information from 
different sources for some areas.

   Value information are offered by survey respondents on a voluntary and confidential foundation; 
solely sworn BLS staff are allowed entry to particular person firm value reviews.  BLS 
publishes value indexes, not precise costs.  All PPIs are topic to month-to-month revisions 
as much as 4 months after unique publication to mirror the provision of late reviews and
corrections by respondents. 

   BLS periodically updates the PPI pattern of survey respondents to raised mirror 
present situations when the construction, membership, know-how, or product mixture of an 
{industry} shifts considerably and to unfold reporting burden amongst smaller companies.  
Info on these resampling efforts are famous within the PPI Information Launch and PPI 
Detailed Report within the months they happen.   

   As a part of an ongoing effort to broaden protection to sectors of the financial system aside from 
mining and manufacturing, an growing variety of service and building sector 
industries have been launched into the PPI.  The next is an inventory of service and 
building sector industries launched into the Producer Value Index, organized by 
SIC or NAICS code at their date of introduction, and the PPI Detailed Report problem
that introduced their introduction.

Weights

   Weights for many commodity groupings of the PPI, in addition to, weights for commodity-
based mostly mixture indexes calculated from commodity groupings, akin to FD-ID indexes, 
presently mirror 2017 values of shipments as reported within the Census of Manufactures 
and different sources. From January 2018 to December 2022, PPI weights had been derived from 
2012 cargo values. Trade indexes now are calculated beneath the 2022 NAICS construction 
using 2017 worth of cargo weights and 2017 internet output ratios. The periodic replace 
of the worth weights used to calculate the PPI is completed to extra precisely mirror modifications 
in manufacturing and advertising patterns within the financial system.

   Internet output values of shipments are used as weights for {industry} indexes. Internet output 
values check with the worth of shipments from institutions inside the {industry} to consumers 
exterior the {industry}. Nonetheless, weights for commodity indexes are based mostly on gross cargo 
values, together with values of shipments between institutions inside the identical {industry}. As 
a outcome, broad commodity grouping indexes, such because the PPI for All Commodities (which is 
composed of main commodity groupings 01 by means of 15), are affected by the a number of 
counting of value change at successive levels of processing, which may result in 
exaggerated or deceptive indicators about inflation. The intermediate demand by commodity 
sort FD-ID indexes partially appropriate for this defect, however {industry} indexes, last demand 
FD-ID indexes, and intermediate demand by manufacturing move FD-ID indexes persistently 
appropriate for this in any respect ranges of aggregation.  Due to this fact, {industry} and FD-ID indexes are 
extra applicable than broad commodity groupings for evaluation of basic value developments.


Value Index Reference Base

   Efficient with publication of January 1988 information, many essential PPI sequence (together with 
most commodity teams and particular person gadgets) had been positioned on a brand new reference base, 1982 = 
100.  From 1971 by means of 1987, the usual reference base for many PPI sequence was 1967 = 
100.  Apart from rounding variations, the shift to the brand new reference base didn't alter 
any beforehand printed p.c modifications for affected PPI sequence. (See "Calculating Index 
Adjustments," under.)  The 1982 reference base just isn't used for commodity indexes with a base 
later than December 1981 or for {industry} internet output indexes and their merchandise.  The FD-
ID indexes sometimes have a reference base of November 2009 = 100.

   For additional info on the underlying ideas and methodology of the Producer 
Value Index, see the Producer Value Indexes part of the BLS Handbook of Strategies.  This 
part is out there on the BLS Web page at www.bls.gov/opub/hom/ppi.  


Calculating Index Adjustments

   Every PPI measures value modifications from a reference interval that equals 100.0.  An 
improve of 5.5 p.c from the reference interval within the Remaining Demand Items Value Index, 
for instance, is proven as 105.5.  This transformation additionally might be expressed in {dollars}, as 
follows:  costs acquired by home producers of a pattern of ultimate demand items have 
risen from $100 in November 2009 to $105.50.  Likewise, a present index of 90.0 would 
point out that costs acquired by producers of ultimate demand items are 10 p.c decrease 
than they had been in November 2009.

   Actions of value indexes from one month to a different are often expressed as p.c 
modifications, relatively than as modifications in index factors.  Index level modifications are affected by the 
stage of the index in relation to its base interval, whereas p.c modifications aren't.  The 
following instance exhibits the computation of index level and p.c modifications.

   Index level change
      Remaining Demand Items Value Index     107.5
      Much less earlier index                104.0
      Equals index level change            3.5

   Index p.c change
      Index level change                   3.5
      Divided by the earlier index      104.0
      Equals                             0.034
      Outcome multiplied by 100           0.034 x 100
      Equals p.c change                3.4


Seasonally Adjusted and Unadjusted Information

   As a result of value information are used for various functions by totally different teams, BLS publishes 
seasonally adjusted and unadjusted modifications every month.  Seasonally adjusted information are 
most well-liked for analyzing basic value developments within the financial system as a result of these information remove 
the impact of modifications that usually happen at about the identical time, and in about the identical 
magnitude, each year-such as value actions ensuing from regular climate patterns, 
common manufacturing and advertising cycles, mannequin changeovers, seasonal reductions, and 
holidays.  For these causes, seasonally adjusted information extra clearly reveal underlying 
developments.  Unadjusted information are of main curiosity to customers who want info that may 
be associated to precise greenback values of transactions.  People requiring this 
info embrace advertising specialists, buying brokers, finances and value analysts, 
contract specialists, and commodity merchants.  It's the unadjusted information which can be 
typically cited when escalating long-term contracts akin to buying agreements or actual 
property leases.  For extra info, see the Producer Value Index (PPI) Information for Value 
Adjustment, on the Internet at 
www.bls.gov/ppi/publications/price-adjustment-guide-for-contracting-parties.htm.   

   Seasonal adjustment is completed utilizing X-13 ARIMA, a software program bundle printed by 
the U.S. Census Bureau.  Annually, the seasonal standing of most commodity indexes is 
reevaluated to mirror more moderen value conduct. Trade internet output indexes aren't
seasonally adjusted.  For time sequence that exhibit seasonal pricing patterns, new 
seasonal elements are estimated and utilized to the unadjusted information from the prior 5 years.  
Up to date seasonally adjusted indexes change the latest 5 years of seasonal information. 

   Seasonal elements could also be utilized to sequence utilizing both a direct or an aggregative 
methodology. Typically, commodity indexes are seasonally adjusted utilizing direct seasonal 
adjustment, which produces a extra full elimination of seasonal actions than does 
the aggregative methodology.  Nonetheless, the direct seasonal adjustment course of might not yield 
figures that possess additive consistency.  Thus, a seasonally adjusted index for a broad 
class that's straight adjusted might not be logically in step with all seasonally 
adjusted indexes for its parts.  Seasonal actions for FD-ID indexes are derived 
not directly by means of an aggregative methodology that mixes actions of all kinds of 
subproduct class (six-digit) sequence.

   Seasonally adjusted indexes can grow to be problematic when beforehand steady and 
predictable value patterns abruptly change.  If the brand new sample persists, the seasonal 
adjustment methodology will finally mirror it; if the sample retains shifting, nevertheless, 
seasonally adjusted information will grow to be chronically troublesome.  This downside happens 
comparatively sometimes for farm and food-related merchandise, however has extra usually affected 
manufactured merchandise akin to cars and metal.

Since January 1988, the PPI has used Intervention Evaluation Seasonal Adjustment strategies 
to reinforce the calculation of seasonal elements.  With this system, outlier values that 
might distort the seasonal sample are faraway from the information previous to making use of the usual 
seasonal issue estimation process.  For instance, a potential financial trigger for giant 
value actions for petroleum-based merchandise may need been the COVID-19 pandemic. In 
this case, intervention methods allowed for higher estimates of seasonally adjusted 
information. On the entire, only a few sequence have required intervention.  Out of over 350 seasonally
adjusted commodity sequence, 60 had been topic to intervention in 2026. 

   For extra info referring to seasonal adjustment strategies, see "PPI and CPI Seasonal 
Adjustment: an Replace" within the July 2010 Month-to-month Labor Overview, and "PPI and CPI Seasonal 
Adjustment Through the COVID-19 Pandemic" within the Might 2022 Month-to-month Labor Overview.


Producer Value Index Information on the Web

   In 1995, the BLS started posting PPI sequence, information releases, and technical info to 
the web. There have been greater than 21 million situations of PPI information being downloaded from 
the BLS web site throughout 2025.


Retrieving PPI information from the PPI Web page

   PPI information can be found on-line at www.bls.gov/ppi/databases. On this web page, hyperlinks present 
the next strategies of information retrieval:

   High Picks is a form-based utility for each Trade Information and Commodity Information that 
permits the person to shortly get hold of PPI time sequence information by deciding on the high-level 
mixture and different generally requested time sequence, together with the All Commodities Index 
and the FD-ID indexes (for instance, Remaining Demand).  Inside every record, any one-or all-of 
the time sequence proven might be chosen.  A person can modify the date vary and output 
choices after executing the question, utilizing the reformat button above the information output desk.

   Information Finder, often known as the "Information Question Device", permits customers to conveniently search
a number of information units abruptly. Customers can extract particular information by looking out by key phrase 
or by filtering by means of a number of matters, measures, and attributes. Customers can modify the 
date vary and output choices after executing their question utilizing the alternatives offered 
above the information output.

   One-Display screen Information Search and Multi-Display screen Information Search are form-based question purposes 
for each Trade Information and Commodity Information designed for customers unfamiliar with the PPI 
coding construction.  These purposes information a person by means of the PPI classification by 
itemizing index titles and don't require data of commodity or {industry} codes.  Information 
retrieved are based mostly on a question formulated by deciding on information traits from lists 
offered.  Two choices can be found to create personalized tables, relying on a person's 
browser functionality.  The one-screen choice is a JavaScript utility that makes use of a single 
display screen to information a person by means of the obtainable time sequence information.  The second choice is a 
multiple-screen, non-Java-based utility.  Each strategies permit a person to browse the PPI 
coding construction and choose a number of sequence.  Customers can modify the date vary and output 
choices after executing the question utilizing the reformat button above the information output desk.

   Sequence Report is a form-based utility that enables customers to enter a number of, 
formatted PPI time sequence identifiers (commodity or {industry} codes) as inputs in 
extracting information in keeping with a specified set of date ranges and output choices.  This 
utility gives probably the most environment friendly path for customers who're conversant in the format 
of PPI time sequence identifiers.  There are 5 alphabetic prefixes used to create distinctive 
PPI time sequence identifiers:  WP, WD, PC, PD, and ND.  Every gives the person entry to a 
totally different PPI database.  Including both a "u" (not seasonally adjusted) or an "s" 
(seasonally adjusted) to the tip of those prefixes additional specifies the kind of information 
wanted. Examples are offered under.

   For commodity and FD-ID indexes, sequence identifiers mix a "wpu" prefix (not 
seasonally adjusted) or a "wps" prefix (seasonally adjusted) with a commodity code.  

Commodity code   Offers information for:
wps141101        Passenger vehicles, seasonally adjusted
wpu141101        Passenger vehicles, not seasonally adjusted
wpufd4           Remaining demand, not seasonally adjusted
wpsid63          Providers for intermediate demand, seasonally adjusted

   For discontinued commodity indexes, sequence identifiers mix a "wdu" prefix (not 
seasonally adjusted) or a "wds" prefix (seasonally adjusted) with a commodity code.  

Commodity code   Offers information for:
wds019           Different farm merchandise, seasonally adjusted 
wdu0635          Preparations, moral (prescription), not seasonally adjusted
wdusi138011      Stainless-steel mill merchandise, not seasonally adjusted

   Present value indexes grouped by {industry} in keeping with NAICS have sequence identifiers 
that start with the prefix "pcu." After the prefix, there are 12 digits (the 6-digit 
{industry} code is listed twice) adopted by as much as 7 alphanumeric characters figuring out 
product element.  Dashes are used as placeholders for higher-level {industry} group codes.

Trade-product code,
present NAICS sequence        Offers information for:

                            single-specialty group practices, basic/household observe

   Discontinued industry-product codes based mostly on SIC mix a "pdu" prefix and "#" 
between the fourth and fifth characters of the product code.  Sequence identifiers for the 
discontinued dataset use underscores as placeholders to finish a reference to an SIC 
{industry} group code of fewer than 4 digits.  (All PPI industry-based indexes organized 
by SIC had been discontinued with the introduction of NAICS in 2004.)

Trade-product code,
discontinued SIC sequence     Offers information for:
pdu28_ _#                   Chemical compounds and allied merchandise

pdu3711#111                 Passenger vehicles

   Value indexes for discontinued sequence grouped by {industry} in keeping with NAICS have 
identifiers that start with the prefix "ndu." After the prefix, there are 12 numeric 
digits (the 6-digit {industry} code is listed twice), and as much as 7 further alphanumeric 
characters that establish product element.  Dashes are used as placeholders for higher-
stage group codes.
