I have already pointed out in my earlier postings, that capital advance would not come udner Trade Payables, it would come only under other current liabilities.
Showing the advance as an asset or debiting the advnace paid to the account of supplier directly is a way of preparing the accounts. different organization follow different methods. there is no such requirement that a particular method should be folowed for accounting for advances paid. Debiting & crrediting the suppliers account wiht the advances given and booking of expense saves time in creation of numerous accounts.
