The trial balance is the list of all open accounts in the ledger (although post-closing trial balances exist as well).

If the A/P (Accounts Payable) account increased on the trial balance, this would mean that entries had been made (journalized) and posted to the ledger that increase the A/P account balance.

For example, buying inventory on account would increase the A/P account balance. This transaction would be journalized and then posted (process of transferring info from journal to ledger). This would result in an increase in A/P on the trial balance.
