Accounts payable
Under accrual method of accounting, goods or services are received today and payment is made in the future. The transaction is recorded in the books when the goods and services are received (i.e. today) while the future payment obligation is treated as a liability (account payable) Example: accrued wages payable, accrued sales tax payable, and accrued rent payable, etc.Hope this helps!
If you've made a payment on the vendor account which was previously incurred the entry would be: Debit: Accounts Payable; Credit: Cash If you're trying to write-off an unpaid accounts payable the entry would be: Debit: Accounts Payable; Credit: Expense Settlement Account (Contra-Expense account on the P&L that will flow through to Retained Earnings.
As accounts payable has a credit balance as normal balance so it has credit balance until not paid but it may have debit balance as well in case when payment is made for more than actual accounts payable which create negative balance or debit balance.

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.
Wages Payable is a liability account that records wages that a company owes but has not yet paid. A decrease in this account more than likely signifies payment of those wages.About the only other "decrease" which is generally a rarity, is if the account was increased accident by an amount that the company did not owe and there was an adjusting entry made to record that error.
To clarify, I owe money at US Bank for a defaulted credit card with them. I have a TCF checking account. If I try to deposit a check made payable to me, and that check happens to be a US Bank check, can US Bank seize the check made payable to me even if I deposit it into my TCF checking account? Not sure if they will see that US Bank funds are made payable to me from someone else's account. Any insight would help! Thanks!

The journal entry for fuel refilling would involve debiting the fuel expense account to recognize the cost of fuel purchased and crediting the cash or accounts payable account to show the payment made or liability incurred. This transaction reflects an increase in expenses and a decrease in cash or an increase in accounts payable.
