 * Well, I'm not an accountant, but I just rewrote the intro to try to make it a little more easy to understand for the peasants and sex it up a little with an example of Dells mastery of the A/P. Sbwoodside 06:31, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

This article is far from complete and doesn't define the Accounts Payable process, its purpose nor its relationship to Purchasing, Budget and Accounting. The reference to Dell as a company who bills prior to shipping is incorrect.

Accounts Payable is a liability account on the General Ledger. The collection of individual amounts due vendors comprises the sub-ledger to the Accounts Payable account.

Account Payable is a module in SAP. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.6.3.122 (talk) 01:15, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Why is this article basically an ad for Pastel Evolution (and Accpac to a lesser extent)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.151.107.13 (talk) 16:58, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

Link to the German article "Verbindlichkeiten"
I somehow cannot enter this link - I get an error that it is already used. But when I go this page, it is nearly blank. Please make the link between EN:Accounts payable and DE:Verbindlichkeiten. Thanks Bernburgerin (talk) 09:27, 21 April 2017 (UTC)
