When doing business with other companies you will need to keep accurate records of the amount of money you owe. Below is how to do documenting accounts payable procedures.

1 -  For those debts that you do not pay off immediately, you will need to record the following information in the left hand column of the record:

* The date the debt was incurred
* To whom you owe the money
* Payment terms (for example: due within 30, 60 or 90 days)
* The amount of the debt

2 – In the right hand column of the Accounts Payable Record, you will record the following information:

* The date of any payments
* To whom the payments were made
* The amount of any payments made
