    On June 3rd it said "Purchased supplies on account for $150"
    But then on June 17th it says "Paid $150 for the supplies purchased on June 3rd
    So do I have to record anything for June 3rd?

    Your journal entry on Jun 3 should be: Debit Supplies and Credit Accounts Payable for the amount given.

    Your Journal entry on Jun 17 should be: Debit Accounts Payable and Credit Cash for the amount given.

    The effects of the 2 journal entries are;
    1. You recorded the purchase of supplies on account.

    2. You recorded a payment on account.

    You now have a supplies account balance of $150 and your accounts payable account balance is 0.
