Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies how expenses should be recorded in accounting. It distinguishes between recording expenses based on their inherent nature (fixed or variable) and recording them according to the purpose for which they were incurred. The consensus is that for reporting purposes, expenses are classified by their purpose, not their fundamental nature.

It is a process of accounting cycle. Expenses has only 2 natures, fixed and variables. All five elements of accounting aka assets, liabilities, expenses, incomes and equity must be reported. 

You didn't get my question
i am asking whether the expenses is recorded as per the nature or as per the purpose to incurr it ??

Just the purpose  in reporting because cost classification is not reporting
