A debit to the vendor's subsidiary account represents an increase in the amount owed to that vendor, typically reflecting purchases made on credit or adjustments such as returns. This entry decreases the overall balance of the Accounts Payable in the general ledger but increases the specific vendor's account, indicating that the business has incurred additional liabilities to that vendor. It is essential for maintaining accurate records of payables and ensuring proper financial tracking.

How is subsidiary ledger different to the general ledger?
A subsidiary ledger is a group of similar accounts whose combined balances equal the balance in a specific general ledger account. The general ledger account that summarizes a subsidiary ledger's account balances is called a control account or master account. For example, an accounts receivable subsidiary ledger (customers' subsidiary ledger) includes a separate account for each customer who makes credit purchases. The combined balance of every account in this subsidiary ledger equals the balance of accounts receivable in the general ledger. Posting a debit or credit to a subsidiary ledger account and also to a general ledger control account does not violate the rule that total debit and credit entries must balance because subsidiary ledger accounts are not part of the general ledger; they are supplemental accounts that provide the detail to support the balance in a control account.
