While you are allowed to expense purchases if your yearly sales are under $25 million dollars and your tax treatment of inventory conforms to your financial statement treatment of it, it may be wise to not deduct your purchases before you sell them. It may be an audit trigger to report more in purchases than sales, and if you deduct your purchases in the year before you sell them, you will just have to pay the tax on those sales in the following year.
