How should I correctly classify different types of expenses (e.g., supplies, small assets, equipment, or services) into categories on the pre-proposal form?

Q: How should I correctly classify the various types of expenses (e.g., supplies, small assets, equipment, or services) into categories on the pre-proposal form?

Consumables: These include consumables, i.e., expenses for items that are routinely consumed within the project (typically within the given year). In the pre-proposal, minor tangible assets of a non-capital nature may also be included here. In the national Application Form, these items fall under the category of operating costs. Equipment: This category in the pre-proposal is intended for investments. If you are purchasing non-capital equipment (e.g., with a price below CZK 80,000), it will be classified as operating costs in the national Application Form, not as an investment. Other direct costs: These primarily include purchased services.
