if you go up a level to partyrelationship that memic the cost centers
you can use the purchase/sales order model the way it is.
office supplies are expendable by the IRS and is a accounting function
there are many ways to implement use of Goods.
for instance you may want to take a good and make it an Asset.
these are Accounting functions.
so the PO/SO would be aware of the way the sale is done by
partyrelationship, and possibly a Category that has been assiged to the
product
another approach is to use standard PO for buying inventory then modify
the inventroy tranfer to show the inventory is being transfered as an
expendable item (accounting). you can get finite with facilities or use
departments.
that should give you some ideas.
