I'm not exactly sure what you are asking, the journal entry for a cash payment to pay down an account payable is as follows:
Account Payable (debit) $$$$
Cash (credit) $$$$
Paying down an account payable is paying partial, so take for example you owe $1500 for a computer you purchased on account and you wish to pay $500 towards the balance. The Journal Entry would be.
Account Payable (debit) $500
Cash (credit) $500
