He is buying supplies not onventory
Dr.Supplies
Cr.Accounts payable
----------------------------------
To record the partial payment,
Cr.Accounts Payable (for the partial payment)
Dr.Cash
------------------------------------
Now lets assume that he is really buying inventory then the entries will be
Dr.Merchandise Inventory
Cr.Accounts Payable
---------------------------------
when you do the partial payment
Dr.Accounts payable (for the partial payment)
Cr.Cash
----------------------------------
Lets say that for some strange reason you received a discount for the partial payment then you would record
Dr.Accounts payable (for the ammount of the partial payment)
Cr.Merchandise inventory (for the ammount of the discount received)
Cr.Cash (for the partial payment less the discount)
