23. 秘书长指出，拟议行政干事员额(外勤事务人员)和行政助理员额(外勤事务人员)的任职者将为供应链管理处处长办公室提供必要的行政支持，包括对稳定团费用中心和申购人的预算监督、人力资源管理、项目管理、外包、供应链管理业绩，以及对于重组以后的特派团支助司的所有协调工作(同上，第 104 段)。行预咨委会不相信供应链管理处处长办公室内需要增设两个员额来行使行政职能，并建议不核准两个拟设立的外勤事务员额中的一个。任何相关业务费用都应相应调整。委员会建议核准其余四个拟设立的新员额。
23. The Secretary-General states that the incumbents of the proposed posts of Administrative Officer (Field Service) and Administrative Assistant (Field Service) would provide the Office of the Chief of Supply Chain Management with the requisite administrative support, including the budgetary oversight of cost centres and requisitioners in the Mission, human resources management, project management, contracting, supply chain management performance and coordinating work for the reorganized Mission Support Division (ibid., para. 104). The Advisory Committee is not convinced that two additional posts are required within the Office of the Chief of Supply Chain Management for administrative functions, and recommends against the approval of one of the two proposed Field Service posts. Any related operational costs should be adjusted accordingly. The Committee recommends the approval of the remaining four proposed new posts.
