Help with mapping spend

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

   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.

	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.

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