Some of your purchase orders might include a direct expense in addition to, or instead of, an inventory item. A direct expense, such as marketing brochures, is expensed directly to the general ledger account that you specify. These expenses are entered in the Detail Information section of the PO Enter Purchase Orders window. Right-click in the detail line and choose Direct Expense from the menu that appears. You can then choose the correct general ledger account and finish filling in the detail information.
