The problem with codes is the codes are not or rarely put on the actual purchase order. So when the invoice comes in accounting takes a guess where it goes. The super/managing agent need to apply the codes upon ordering material or repairs. Problem solved. Of course you have to make sure the codes are applied to the right line item on the budget.
Its also a good idea that every 4 months or so someone sits with the super and showers him/her exactly where the building is on budget. Most of the times, supers - Resident managers do not know, no one tells them or teaches them.
This will help stay on budget.

That is real good.... I never thought of informing the super as to where we are in the budget. I think that is a great idea for various reasons. (gonna steal that idea and implement it!)thanks
The use of PO numbers (which include the GL code acronym)can help to pre-clasify items.
