1. You do not hire a waxing machine. You are either purchasing one, renting one, or are hiring someone to wax your floors. Each one of these is a different transaction.

2. Placed an order with no down payment would be a debit to an asset and a credit to accounts payable.

Paid for supplies ordered would be a debit to accounts payable and a credit to cash.

Made a purchase on credit, you need to know what the purchase is so you can debit the appropriate asset and your credit will be to accounts payable.

In your first post you said "new purchase on credit rn550"

This does not say what the purchase is for. Is it supplies, equipment, furniture, or etc...

Your journal entry will be a debit to the appropriate asset account and a credit to accounts payable for rm550.

You ordered something, means you will own something and or have control of it means it is an asset. An increase in an asset is a debit. No down payment means you owe something, which is a liability, an accounts payable. An increase in accounts payable is a credit.

Paid for supplies ordered means you paid on account, which is an account payable. A decrease in an account payable is a debit. Paid means you paid cash. A decrease in an asset is a credit.
