line items
Individual budget allocations
Line items are individual entries in a financial document, budget, or itemized list—each representing a distinct expense, product, or category.
A budget might have line items for salaries, equipment, and travel.
On an invoice, each line item shows quantity, description, and price.
The term implies formal accounting: Congress debated cutting several line items from the defense budget.
To line-item something is to examine or veto it entry by entry.
