general journal
To record the payment of a portion of accounts payable, the journal entry would debit the Accounts Payable account to decrease the liability and credit the Cash account to reflect the cash outflow. For example, if $1,000 of accounts payable is paid, the entry would be: Debit: Accounts Payable $1,000 Credit: Cash $1,000 This entry reduces both the outstanding liability and the cash balance.
