Sec. 458.5. Supplies and materials classification index


Latest version.
  • This section presents guidelines forreporting supplies and services expenses by the proper functional reporting center and natural classification. Items whose use is common to more than one functional reporting center are not referenced to a single center but to the “appropriate” reporting center. Some items are too general in nature to be referenced to a specific natural classification. Therefore, the reference is to the “appropriate” natural classification.
