I appreciate the suggestions that I received regarding handling expense items under the current Vantage limitations. I am going to set up a new warehouse with a nonettable bin and change all the parts to standard costing with a $0.00 standard cost.
Due to the responses I got and the various different ways that users are getting around this limitation, not to mention the additional work they require, I still feel that this is something that we should let Epicor know we want changed. All that has to happen is that on the part master screen an additional check box be made available that would mark the part as an expense item and when it is checked the part would not generate a
PUR-STK transaction when received. One user has already paid for a mod to do this and feels that was very worthwhile.
Please contact Vantage support and add your company name to the list of supporters for the enhancement suggestion listed below.
Thank you.

Issue:
The part master record for a part should have an extra button in addition to
nonstock, titled expense. So when the part is purchased and received, it
will not increase onhand qty and the transaction would be recorded as an
expense. It is to cumbersome right now to receive these items into a
nonnettable bin, which will still have qty building up in it.
