Why is it important to post to the subsidiary ledger daily?
This is important as this is part of the ledger which shows what is owing or owed at any given point in time.

Therefore, this ledger would show what is truly outstanding at any given day hence the need for daily posts..

How do you use account payble and receivable?
These are basic accounts. Accounts Payable is used by one company to record the amount owed to it by another company or person. Accounts payable is a liability account. Say your company purchases inventory from another on account, your company records what it owes as a liability in accounts payable. AP increase with a credit and decrease with a debit. The opposite is true with Accounts Receivable. Your company records money owed to it by another company or person in AR. AR is a asset account and therefore increase with a debit and decreases with a credit. How to use these accounts are pretty simple and straight forward for the basics. Let's say we are company A, we purchase inventory from Company B on account. We use AP - Company B and record the purchase, we credit the amount to that account. So say we purchased Inventory in the amount of $500 on account our first recording would be: Inventory (dr) $500 AP - Comp B (cr) $500 No cash has changed hands at this point so cash does not figure into this transaction. Now AR, say we sale inventory to Company B on account for $500, The transaction is as: AR - comp B (dr) $500 Sales (cr) $500 Again not cash has changed hands at this time. Most company's use a subsidiary ledger to record individual accounts, then a general ledger to show a running total of all AP and AR accounts.
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.
Does accounts receivables show how much money is owed to the company?
That is correct. If someone owes me money, then that is money that I am going to receive, if the loan is paid, hence that account can be classified as accounts receivable. If there is money that I owe, which I therefore intend to pay, then that is classified as accounts payable.
