must be itemized

Hello,

I think we are talking about itemizing expenses.

We aren't talking about classification per say, but rather "breaking down", or "itemizing" expenses.

When one breaks down expenses, one is effectively itemizing them.

"Itemize" sounds much better than "broken down" in this context as it is probably the most contextually appropriate word.

I hope this helps.
