The Expense object

The Expense object is used to represent a direct purchase by a business, typically made with a check, credit card, or cash. Each Expense object is dedicated to a grouping of expenses, with each expense recorded in the lines object.

The Expense object is also used to represent refunds to direct purchases. Refunds can be distinguished from purchases by the amount sign of the records. Expense objects with a negative amount are purchases and Expense objects with a positive amount are refunds to those purchases.
