Expense codes are created in FocalPoint software to be used when you are relieving inventory or creating credit adjustments in A/R.  For times when order processing procedures are being bypassed, it is necessary to be able to offset credits (decreases in assets like A/R and inventory accounts, or increases in revenue accounts) with debits (expenses or otherwise).
