   Currently the top-level heading 'Facilities & Management Services' covers property lease/rental, and 'Human Resources - Professional & Advisory Services' should be given to subscriptions.

	Hotel Accomodation etc would be covered by 'Facilities & Management Services - Travel'. Property lease/rental is a bit more difficult, I would prefer to discuss this with Terry Ashmore before giving a definitive answer. Unfortunately he is out of the office today but I will bring these points to his attention tomorrow. Architects would currently be covered by Consultancy - Construction, although it has previously been suggested that they should have their own classification in the upcoming release. I will check with Terry tomorrow whether this has been approved. Books and a/v materials would indeed be covered by the 'Education - Supplies - etc' headings. Could you clarify subscriptions please? Journals, memberships etc. The headings are intended to be self-explanatory but clearly there is a need to refine the 'clarification info' data to tidy up some of these issues. We will attempt to address this in the next release.

	We want to share spend data with other councils and so I would like to make sure that we map our spend to the correct ProClass category - a few questions: Where are we putting Hotel Accomodation & other Travel? Was the question posted earlier about property lease/rental every resolved? Do Architects come under Consultancy/Construction Do we code books, a/v materials, to education/supplies when they are not educational. Where do subscriptions go? Is there a guide to what goes where? It is not always obvious to me and once you have to hesitate and make a guess there is a good chance another council might make a different choice.
