You select the expense account. There should be no manual transactions between AP/AR if you are using the Business Features.
You can though have manual transactions between ‘Other AP/Other AR’ accounts and checking/cash etc. Since you didn’t initially create a transaction (a Bill) between the expense account and Accounts Payable, there is no reason to involve Accounts Payable in the payment transaction. Treat it no different from paying for fuel or groceries.
