Adding to the discussion, found that GS1 also has an item tandard, it is called GPC.
GPC Publishes its schema free of charge, however, work must be done to translate. GPC 2016 Schema
-
[ ] Create an item tree structured according to the GS1 GPC Schema
-
[ ] Add to user options to select when setting up company.
-
[ ] Consider creating a conversion table where item categories can be shown as both UNSPSC and GS1, which is to be updated regularly down to a Class or Family level How GPC is structured

As I continue getting familiar with the Configuration of ERPNext, I have stumbled upon the site where users can contribute translations and chart of accounts. I thought it would be a great addition to give the end-user an option to populate their Item Tree using the United Nations Standard Products and Services Code hierarchy. The information is available in multiple languages, and I feel it would be a great addition to ERPNext to help ease in the "guesswork" of creating your own item tree. This same categorization scheme could help for detailed accounting as well.
The lists cost money to download, but I found several lists available for free online. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UNSPSC
[ ] Create a Table that includes the UNSPSC contents to add categories to Item Tree in ERPNext
[ ] Configure user option to select or decline the population of item tree hierarchy with such list
[ ] Allow for user to select only specific categories (turn on and off) to be shown
[ ] Configure ERPNext such that when items are added, they can add any UNSPSC code, but keep the option in Item Tree View to see only those categories for which items have been created in ERPNext.
