What are accounts payable?

Accounts payable is the liability (debt) account a company uses to show the total amount they owe to outside vendors that will be paid off in 12 months or LESS (Edit: but see below).For example, if a company buys a computer for $3,000 on account and will be paying the computer off in 12 months or less, the transaction is recorded as an Account Payable.*remember, this is for accounts that will be paid off in 12 months or less, anything longer, such as 13 months must be recorded as a Note Payable, but only if the company owing the money has signed a written promissory note promising to pay. If there is no Note evidencing a debt, there is no basis for recording a Note Payable (edit 8/29/2012)Also edited 8/29/12 to add:Ordinarily, vendor bills for all non-compensation or non-tax amounts owed for expenses incurred, or inventory or materials acquired, in the ordinary course of business are posted to Accounts Payable until they are paid off, because the presumption is that ordinary trade expense bills will all be paid within the accounting cycle, unless there is clear evidence to the contrary, in which the debt can be shown as a non-current payable.When a bill sitting in Accounts Payable is finally paid, the Accounts Payable account is debited to show the decrease in the company's liabilities (debts).Some amounts that a business can owe are not posted to Accounts Receivable. Certain big items, such as payroll and taxes due, get their own liability accounts, Wages Payable and Taxes Payable. The same is true for loan repayments due to a bank. But these are large and important items, and it's better bookkeeping to separate them from the Accounts Payable account. (end of edit)In other words...Accounts payable is money that a business owes.

What is the difference between notes payable and trade payable?

The difference between trades payable and notes payable is based on the relationship with the business to which money is owed to.

How do you write off Accounts Payable for defective goods?

Accounts Payable is the account you use when you "owe" another person or company money for either a service or product. When it comes down to it, you don't "write off" the account but instead you "close" the account. This is done by a couple of methods.Since you are referring to "defective" goods, more than likely you will want to return the defective product for either a refund or replacement. If you choose replacement and it turns out to be an even trade, you may still wish to make the following changes. Since the product will have a new serial number, you will want to note this in the account.Account Payable - Washing Machine (debit) $500Equipment-WM- Exchange for new product (credit) $500This removes the original equipment from your books.Equipment-WM-Replacement for defective product (debit) $500Account Payable- Washing Machine (credit) $500This places the new equipment onto your booksHowever, if you choose refund, then you post to the account just opposite of how it was posted when your made the initial purchase.For example, say you purchased a Washing Machine for $500 on account. When you purchased this item, your accounts would beEquipment-Washing Machine (debit) $500Account Payable - Washing Machine (credit) $500If you return the defective machine and get a refund (or credit since you haven't paid for it yet) you reverse the above by crediting your equipment noting the reason and debiting the account payable.I could go into a few more details, but if you are into accounting then you already know the process of paying off an account payable and how that transaction is posted.
