I give workshops and the participants use materials for this. How do I record this?
A large part of these materials is purchased wholesale together with trade goods for sell.
I can list this separately per workshop or quarterly in an Excel or Word document and create a uRL to an invoice with trade goods, but what should I record this as an expense for, because it will never be sold, so it is still an expense. In my specifically case, this is paper, ink, etc. If the materials are not used up, they simply remain in the workshop space for next time (craft knives, cutting dies, stamps, brushes, spray bottles, glue, etc.).Or is this not a good way of working?
