This very interesting question.

It is an Expense ...and i ma agree with Mr.Moain Ali

Purchase is the cost of buying inventory during a period for the purpose of sale in the ordinary course of the business. It is therefore a kind of expense and is hence included in the income statement within the cost of goods sold and the closing inventories consider as Asset and recorded in Balance Sheet.
