What is the difference between a cash payment and a payment made to a vendor or contractor through AP and why is one better than the other?
The difference between a cash payment and a payment made to a vendor or contractor through accounts payable is as follows: In a cash payment, the company using the services of the vendor immediately recognizes the expense (by increasing the expense account) and hand over the cash to the vendor (by decreasing the cash asset account). For the vendor, they recognize the revenue upon completion (by increasing the revenue account) and move the cash onto their balance sheet (by increasing the cash asset account). In an accounts payable transaction, the company using the services of the vendor immediately recognizes the expense (by increasing the expense account) and acknowledges the debt (by increasing the accounts payable liability). For the vendor, they recognize the sale (by increasing the revenue account) and acknowledges that the company using their services owes them for the work that they did (by increasing the accounts receivable account). Time eventually passes for the accounts payable transaction and the company that used the services of the vendor sends payment to the vendor (by decreasing the cash account) and acknowledges that the debt is paid (by reducing the accounts payable liability). The vendor receives payment in the mail (by increasing the cash asset account) and acknowledges that the debt is paid (by reducing the accounts receivable asset). The key difference is which party is providing the cash flow. For a cash payment, the transaction is best for the vendor because they are receiving cash immediately. For an AP transaction, the service user is better because they held onto cash for some period of time.
