What is a accounts payable ledger?

Just like normal people don't have just one bill, companies don't have one bill. For that reason, having just one "Account Payable" account for all their bill can be confusing, inefficient, and can lead to fraud. So, they establish what is called a "sub-ledger", in this case it's "accounts payable ledger". That account will have multiple accounts payable accounts and the end balance is shown in the general ledger as just "Accounts Payable". For Ex. there could be one for Insurance, office supplies, salary, and other accounts payable, etc.
