Consumables
Consumables is a support category within core supports for low-cost items that get used up or replaced regularly.
Consumables is a support category that groups low-cost items used up through regular use, rather than durable equipment that lasts and gets reassessed over time.
It sits within the core supports budget, which is built to be the most flexible part of a plan, so spending inside consumables can generally move to cover different items as needs change through the year.
Items in this category are listed with their own codes and price limits in the Support Catalogue, separate from the equipment items found under capital supports.
