Debits decrease the balance of the Accounts Payable account. Accounts Payable is presented in the Liability section of the Balance Sheet. If you purchase a printer for $200 and enter the bill into the accounting program, the program will debit the expense account you choose (e.g. Office Equipment) for $200 and credit Accounts Payable $200. 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. And when we pay the bill, Accounts Payable is debited, its balance is decreased.
