This research aimed to study the level and guidelines for developing supplies administration in the digital era. The sample consisted of 144 respondents selected by using multi - stage sampling namely stratified sampling, based on the population proportion of each school, and simple random sampling through drawing. The research instrument was a 5-level rating scale questionnaire with a validity between .67 and 1.00 and a reliability of .89. Data was collected using Google Forms. 110 responses were received, representing 76.38 percent. Data was analyzed by using frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and content analysis. The research findings were as follows: 1) The overall supplies administration in the digital age for large school administrators had little variation. All aspects were at a high level, with the highest means including procurement, recording, and disbursement, followed by supplies disposal, and the lowest means namely maintenance and inspection. 2) Guidelines for developing supply administration suggest that school administrators should evaluate the environment for storing supplies, considering safety and clearly assigning responsible person, using technology for disbursement, database management system, providing online training for users, appointing an annual supplies inspection committee, inspecting remaining supplies against records for disposal or maintenance planning, and adopting modern supplies management systems for efficiency.
