Purchase Order Expense vs Non-Inventory Item
What the difference is between using a non-inventory Item vs an Expense on a PO?
I have read the documentation and see that NS documents to use Expenses on PO's are for non-physical items, but is there a reason for this since non-inventory Items can be also used for non-physical items like services.
Is there a reason Expenses should only be used for non-physical items on PO's?
or
Can Expenses be used on a PO when purchasing a physical item when a non-inventory item hasn't been pre-created, before creating the PO?
What's the difference and what are the implications of using Expenses vs non-inventory items on PO's?
