True. Accounts payable are aslo subdivided into categories. If the goods you buy are for trading purposes, trade accounts payable should be credited. If the goods you buy are raw materials, manufacturing accounts payable should be credited. However, if the goods are consumables or fixed assets, other accounts payable should be crdited. It depends on the complexity of the accounting system and the nature of the company.
