How to account for expenses without using expense app

Question

In accounting how would you account for expenses that should go to a liability account to be paid out at some point. In accounting I seem to have to add the receipt or invoice as a vendor invoice then pay it from a bank act, in the past I would have paid these things from a liability account
I am trialing Odoo accounting and dont wish to go to extra apps, as I am a startup business.

Hi,
You have the choice to handle expenses in two ways using standard modules without any customizations.
Handling Vendor Invoices: You have the ability to document vendor invoices with the vendor's name and the respective expense account.  *Vendor Bill*
*Account Name*  *Debit*
*Credit*
Expenses
5000

Account Payable - Vendor Name

5000
*Vendor Payment*
Account Name
Debit
Credit
Account Payable - Vendor Name
5000

Bank or Cash

5000
2. Through Journal Entries, you can input transactions directly

Account Name	Debit	Credit
Expenses	1000
Bank or Cash		1000
