A GABOTAF member asked:

Hello! May query lang ako. Once na naprepare na ang Obligation Request and Status at naapprove na ito, pwede na ba i-recognize ng accounting ang accounts payable neto lalo na sa mga malakihang contracts dahil naobligate mo na sya? thankyou! ☺️ (cai)

No. Goods should be delivered, inspected and accepted or services should be rendered before recognizing accounts payable.

Hindi po. AP in the books of accounts should be due and demandable, meaning, goods/services should have been delivered and accepted/rendered already. Obligations NYDD are technically not yet AP.
