Assets carry a debit balance, supplies are an asset, so supplies carries a debit balance.
There's more to supplies being either a debit or credit than just that. Supplies are generally something you use to keep your business going, whether a service business or a merchandising business or whatever.
When you purchase supplies to use in your business, we will assume the company purchased these supplies using cash, then we would Debit Supplies and Credit Cash. As long as you have those supplies on hand then they show up as a debit on the books. Once you use them and say take inventory the amount of supplies you use will change. For example, say my business is cleaning homes. I have cleaning supplies that total $500, on my books under supplies I have a debit for $500. This month I used $400 of those supplies, I would then adjust my books as a Debit to Supply Expense and a Credit to Supplies.
Supplies on hand show on the books as a Debit, when used, are transferred to Supply Expense as a Debit.
