No, supplies and supplies expense are not the same thing. "Supplies" refers to the physical items or materials that a business uses in its operations, while "supplies expense" represents the cost associated with those supplies that have been consumed during a specific accounting period. When supplies are purchased, they are typically recorded as an asset, and when they are used, their cost is transferred to supplies expense on the income statement.
Supplies expense is neither an asset nor a liability it is an expense. Prepaid supplies would be an example of an asset and as the supplies are used they become expenses, supplies expense.
Supplies expense typically has a debit balance. In accounting, expenses are recorded as debits, which increase the total expenses on the income statement. When supplies are purchased, the supplies expense account is debited to reflect the cost incurred. Conversely, when supplies are used, the expense account is still debited, as it represents a cost to the business.
