Sutherland - Bookkeeping: An integrated approach - Accounts Payable 1
Welcome to BookkeepingJournals and Ledgers
This module is about the records that are required when a business buys
things on credit.
Accounts Payable
Sutherland - Bookkeeping: An integrated approach - Accounts Payable 2
The Five Account Types
• Assets - possessions.
• Liabilities - debts that are owed to others.
• Owner’s Equity - what the business owes to its owner.
• Revenue - this is income.
• Expenses - the costs involved in running a business.
Sutherland - Bookkeeping: An integrated approach - Accounts Payable 3
Transactions
• Each time something changes in ownership or value, a transaction is said to have occurred.
• In accrual accounting, transactions are recorded in journals.– Supplier invoices in the Purchases Journal.– Adjustments in the Purchase Returns Journal.– Supplier payments in the Cash Payments Journal.
Sutherland - Bookkeeping: An integrated approach - Accounts Payable 4
PurchasesImportant Points
• ‘Purchases’ refers to the buying of trading stock for re-sale to customers.
• Purchases are classified as expenses in bookkeeping.
• Purchases made on credit are recorded in the Purchases Journal.
• The debts you owe for purchases are called Accounts Payable
Sutherland - Bookkeeping: An integrated approach - Accounts Payable 5
The Purchases JournalImportant Points
• Purchases are recorded in date order.
• The information is obtained from the suppliers’ invoices.
• The name of the supplier who is owed for each purchase must be recorded.
• The value of the goods purchased and the GST are recorded separately.
• The total of each invoice is recorded.

Sutherland - Bookkeeping: An integrated approach - Accounts Payable 7
Double Entry BookkeepingImportant Points
• Each transaction has two effects, known as debits and credits.
• There is at least one debit and at least one credit arising from each transaction.
• There can be more than one of either or both, but the total debits and total credits is always equal.
Sutherland - Bookkeeping: An integrated approach - Accounts Payable 8
Debits and Credits
• Assets have a debit nature.
• Liabilities have a credit nature.
• Owner’s Equity has a credit nature.
• Revenue has a credit nature.
• Expenses have a debit nature.
Sutherland - Bookkeeping: An integrated approach - Accounts Payable 9
The General LedgerRules for Posting
• Increases in assets and expenses are debits.
• Decreases in assets are credit entries.
• Increases in liabilities, owner’s equity and revenue are credit entries.
• Decreases in liabilities and owner’s equity are debit entries.
These rules never vary
Sutherland - Bookkeeping: An integrated approach - Accounts Payable 10
The General LedgerRules for Posting
• Ask yourself Two Questions when posting:1. Is the account an Asset/Expense? (Yes/No)
2. Does this entry increase the balance? (Yes/No)
• The answers…Q1 Q2 The Result
Yes Yes = Debit entry
Yes No = Credit entry
No Yes = Credit entry
No No = Debit entry
Sutherland - Bookkeeping: An integrated approach - Accounts Payable 11
Accounts Payable Control
• This is an account in the General Ledger.
• It represents the total owed to suppliers of trading stock for goods purchased on credit.
• It is a liability.
• In terms of the Two Questions (NO, YES), increases in this account are credit entries.
Sutherland - Bookkeeping: An integrated approach - Accounts Payable 12
Posting the Purchases JournalImportant Points
• This is an end-of-month activity.
• The month’s total is posted to Accounts Payable Control.
• The total column is the amount owed to Accounts Payable (a liability), so this is a credit to Accounts Payable Control account.
Sutherland - Bookkeeping: An integrated approach - Accounts Payable 13
Posting to the General LedgerImportant Points
• Use the end-of-month date.
• ‘Particulars’ references the other account involved in the transaction.
• ‘Folio’ references the journal that the posting came from.
• After each debit or credit entry, you update the balance column.
• Always note Dr or Cr after the balance.

Posting Purchases Returns Important Points
• Returns reduce the amount owed to creditors.
• Creditors have a credit balance.
• To reduce a credit balance you make a debit entry.
• Subtract the debit entry from the previous balance to find the new balance.
Sutherland - Bookkeeping: An integrated approach - Accounts Payable 22
Posting Purchases Returns in terms of the Two Questions
• Accounts Payable Control is a Liability.– Not an asset or expense.
• Purchase Returns reduce the amount of this liability.– It does not increase the amount owed.
• No + No = Debit entry
