The General Ledger
When company purchases more goods on credit then it increases the accounts payable as goods will be debit and accounts payable will be credit.
Debit refers to the left side, and credit to the right side.Balance sheetFor example: A balance sheet has a left side (debit) including the assets and a right side (credit) showing the liabilities and equity. T-accountLikewise, a T-account (used to record transactions) has a debit side and a credit side. For some T-accounts the debit side means increases (and credit decreases), while for other T-accounts it is the reverse.
Yes, liabilities maintain a "credit" balance, which means they will increase with a credit and decrease with a debit. For example, if you purchase land on credit, the Note Payable is a liability and is increased with the credit. The book transaction may look something like:Land (debit) $50,000Note Payable - Land (credit) $50,000

Sundry is a category in general accounting that is used to describe a miscellaneous group of vendors. These vendors are often smaller or infrequent relationships that do not require their own entry. If the vendor currently owes the parent company money, then they are considered a sundry debit. On the other hand, if they have provided goods or services for which the parent company owes them for, they are considered a sundry credit.
Double entry book keeping system is that system under which all transactions have atleast two accounts which are charged for, one for debit part and one for credit.
The account you are asking about is called a contra account. One example of a contra account is "Accumulated Depreciation." Accumulated Depreciation (or A/D for short) is grouped with fixed asset accounts on the balance sheet. The normal balance for A/D is a credit, while all other asset accounts (besides other contra accounts) have a normal debit balance. The credit balance in A/D is netted with the debit balance in fixed assets to determine the net book value (NBV) of the fixed assets.
