Accounts payable and Cash accounts

When supplies are bought on account, the first line of the entry typically lists the Supplies account, which is debited to reflect the increase in assets. The corresponding credit entry will be made to Accounts Payable, indicating the obligation to pay for those supplies in the future.

When supplies are purchased, the supplies expense account is debited to reflect the cost incurred. Conversely, when supplies are used, the expense account is still debited, as it represents a cost to the business.
