Can short-term notes payable be replace as an account payable?

Generally as a rule this does not happen. Notes Payable refer to a liability that will be paid off in more than a year. An account payable is a liability that will be paid off in less time than that, within one year or less (or accounting period). It is generally easier to take an account payable and convert it into a note payable and really pointless to do the reverse.A note payable involves a promissory note, while an account payable does not. Even if the company chooses to pay off the note payable earlier than expected, there is no real reason to convert it from a note payable to an account payable, if they wish to do this to try and save on interest expense that is pointless as well, if the note is paid off early, then the company will not be charged the full interest anyway.Now to really specify the answer to your "exact" question. A short-term note is an account payable. They are one in the same. A short-term note payable is a payable that is expected to be paid off with in one year or less.
