The new version 3 requires us to not just list how much paint cost for the project, say $10,000. Rather, we have to list how much a can of paint costs, like $20 and how many cans were used. How far do we take this? Does this mean that I have to list every single structural member and how many of each I had, rather than just listing structural steel and how many total pieces were used? Where do we draw the line?

It looks like this is one of those little tricks that were added in to help out a project team, but actually make things quite a bit more complicated. For items where you can reasonably specify the individual cost and quantity, go right ahead, otherwise I would treat it as a lump sum. Basically, enter your quantity as 1, and then enter in the total value of the purchase. That said, make sure to hold onto your backup documentation and invoices just in case.
