    Journal Entry - Supplies bought on credit
    I am having trouble with this problem (although I know it must be simple to answer!). Someone please, please help!!

    If your company purchased supplies on credit, hwo would you record this journal entry?

    Then when you make a partial payment to your credit account, how would you record that entry? :confused:

    Thank you in advance for any and all help!!

    Sorry this answer quickly does not give the format right just credit accounts payable in the first entry and credit cash in the second one

    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 amount of the partial payment)
    Cr.Merchandise inventory (for the amount of the discount received)
    Cr.Cash (for the partial payment less the discount)
