Company X buys $1,000 in inventory from Company Y and pays CASH. The debit for this transaction will increase inventory, the credit will decrease cash since company X is paying cash for this transaction. Using the same transaction however, changing Company X wants to purchase this inventory on "credit" the debit in this transaction as above will still increase inventory, however, since Company X has chosen to purchase this inventory on credit and not use cash and accounts payable will be set up and the credit will "increase" accounts payable.
