Then, when you pay the bill, the accounting program will debit Accounts Payable $200 - thereby canceling out, you might say, the earlier credit. (And the accounting program will, of course, also credit the Checking Account by $200.) So when we enter bills into the accounting program, Accounts Payable is credited.
