07:24 PM zhanx: Tom_L, t-shirts fall under uniforms or advertising or both with a split?
08:10 PM Tom_L: does it matter?

08:54 PM zhanx: what interdepartmental's
08:56 PM Tom_L: some big bs word i made up :D
08:56 PM Tom_L: it does have a meaning though
08:56 PM zhanx: oh i get it
08:56 PM zhanx: its paperwork magic
08:56 PM Tom_L: relating to more than one department.
08:57 PM Tom_L: the point being. it's a deduction either way
08:57 PM zhanx: k
08:57 PM Tom_L: you don't get more points for putting it one place over the other
08:57 PM zhanx: k never mind my thought then
08:57 PM Tom_L: but if you were a big company it could matter due to the above sarchasm
08:58 PM zhanx: k
08:58 PM Tom_L: ever have to split up a work order for 2 departments?
08:58 PM zhanx: ywp
08:59 PM zhanx: welding/fab vs install etc
08:59 PM Tom_L: i'd hand em a bill and tell em to work it out
08:59 PM Tom_L: but i can see in your business where it might matter more
