In accrual accounting, expenses are recorded as you get them, so say receive your Utilities Bill due the next month, you record it immediately.
For example I have a $500 Utility Bill it's June 28th, the bill isn't due until say July 15th, the entry would be;
Utility Expense (debit) $500
Utilities Payable (credit) $500
On July 15th when the bill is paid you adjust the entry as follows;
Utilities Payable (debit) $500
Cash (credit) $500
In Cash Basis Accounting the expense isn't recorded on the books until the bill is actually paid and the entry would be;
Utilities Expense (debit) $500
Cash (credit) $500

The journal entry to record payment for supplies would involve crediting the cash account and debiting the supplies expense account.
Journal entry is the basic transaction to record the business transaction and without journal entry no record can be maintained.
