Best Answer

Notes Payable is used to show that it's a note. A note is determined by the signing of a Promissory Note or some similar contract. For example, when you purchase a vehicle (unless you are purchasing said vehicle with cash) you sign a contract (Promissory Note) in which you pay X amount by a certain day each month.
