The average account balance in the Accounts Payable ledger is a credit balance, which implies that the credit side of the AP account should always be a positive balance. It is a liability on the balance sheet showing the amount the firm owes its vendors. A credit entry is made to the AP account whenever a firm purchases credit.

The AP balance falls when the firm makes debit entries to pay off its obligations to its suppliers. A company’s outstanding obligations to its creditors are represented by a credit balance in the accounts payable ledger.
