Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Au Canada, le terme «frais généraux» est souvent utilisé, abusivement, pour désigner les coûts indirects de production, de même que certains coûts directs autres que les matières premières et la main-d'œuvre directe. Ce terme convient mieux pour désigner les charges ne se rattachant à aucune fonction particulière ou que l'on ne peut classer dans une catégorie donnée. 2, record 1, French, - co%C3%BBts%20indirects
