Expense Head For Flip Top Caps/Sleeves/LID/WADS

This discussion seeks clarification on the appropriate expense head for items like flip top caps, sleeves, lids, and wads used in manufacturing HDPE/PET jars and bottles. These components are ordered based on production needs and are considered part of a complete set rather than raw materials. The consensus leans towards classifying them under 'Direct Expense' or potentially 'Consumables' if they are protective equipment.
