<b>I dont really understand what u mean by this- Accounts payable is resulting from procurement/ service cycle. U create a purchase order- receive the goods- make the invoice verification. This will result in accounts payable. When u create PO there is no accounting entries passed. When u receive goods it will pass the following entry:
Stock a/c Dr
Gr/IR ac/c Cr
when the invoice is recieved:
GR/IR Dr
Vendor Cr
When u are making payment
Vendor a/c Dr
Bank a/c    Cr
This complete the purchase cycle.</b>

<b>Accounts receivable is the mirror image of Accounts payable resulting from Sales and Distribution activity</b>> What are Special Gl items
<b>There is nothing like special GL items. It is called Special GL indicators. Whenever u are receiving down payment ( advance payment) they should be shown separately as per the accounting requirement. They are indicated in the AP or AP by way of special GL indicators.</b>> What is Noted items
<b>Noted items are statistical in nature. Like down payment request. When u want to amke down payment u will create down payment request based on that automoatic payment program will create payment.</b>
