Chapter 11—Posting to General and Subsidiary Ledgers Objectives: Define accounting terms related to posting to ledgers Identify accounting practices related to posting to ledgers Post separate items from a purchases, cash payments, and general journal to an accounts payable ledger Post separate items from a sales, cash receipts, and general journal to an accounts receivable ledger Post separate items from a cash payments and general journal to a general ledger Post special journal column totals to a general ledger Journalize and post correcting entries affecting customer accounts LESSON 11-1

LESSON 11-1: Posting to an Accounts Payable Ledger 4/28/2018 LESSON 11-1: Posting to an Accounts Payable Ledger subsidiary ledger—a ledger that is summarized in a single general ledger account accounts payable ledger—a subsidiary ledger containing only accounts for vendors from whom merchandise or other items are purchased on account accounts receivable ledger—a subsidiary ledger containing only accounts for charge customers controlling account—an account in a general ledger that summarizes all accounts in a subsidiary ledger

ACCOUNTS PAYABLE LEDGER AND GENERAL LEDGER CONTROLLING ACCOUNT page 299 A separate account is prepared for each vendor in the accounts payable subsidiary ledger. An account number is assigned to each vendor account to increase the ease of filing and locating the accounts. The total of all vendor account balances in the accounts payable ledger should always equal the balance of the controlling account, Accounts Payable. LESSON 11-1

ACCOUNTS PAYABLE LEDGER FORMS page 300 An accounts payable ledger form is designed to accommodate accounts with credit balances. Hobby Shack uses a 3-column accounts payable subsidiary ledger account form. The form has only one Balance column—Credit—because all vendor accounts have a normal credit balance. A separate accounts payable ledger form is prepared for each vendor account. A new vendor account is opened by writing the vendor name and vendor number on the heading of the ledger account and placing it in alphabetical order. LESSON 11-1

ACCOUNTS PAYABLE LEDGER FORMS page 300 1 2 3 4 5 6 1. Write the vendor name. 2. Write the vendor number. 3. Write the date. 4. Write the word Balance. 5. Place a check mark in the Post. Ref. column. 6. Write the balance. LESSON 11-1

POSTING FROM A PURCHASES JOURNAL TO AN ACCOUNTS PAYABLE LEDGER page 301 Hobby Shack’s purchases journal has only one amount column. The amount is a debit to Purchases and a credit to Accounts Payable. When a purchase on account is recorded in a purchases journal, the vendor’s name is written in the Account Credited column of the journal. The amount credited to Accounts Payable needs to be posted to the vendor’s accounts payable ledger account so that a record can be maintained of the amount owed to that vendor. An error in posting may cause a business to overpay or underpay its vendors. LESSON 11-1

POSTING FROM A PURCHASES JOURNAL TO AN ACCOUNTS PAYABLE LEDGER page 301 2 1 3 5 4 1. Write the date. 2. Write the journal page number. 4. Write the new account balance. 3. Write the credit amount. 5. Write the vendor number. LESSON 11-1

POSTING FROM A CASH PAYMENTS JOURNAL TO AN ACCOUNTS PAYABLE LEDGER page 302 When a business pays a vendor on an account, the business debits Accounts Payable to record the reduction in the accounts payable account and credits Cash to record the reduction in the cash account. A payment of cash is recorded in the cash payments journal , which has a special column for Accounts Payable debit. When a payment on account was recorded in a cash payments journal, the vendor’s name was written in the Account Title column of the journal and the amount debited in the Accounts Payable debit special columns. The amount debited to Accounts Payable needs to be posted to the vendor’s accounts payable ledger account to bring the vendor’s account up to date and record the correct balance still owed. LESSON 11-1

COMPLETED ACCOUNTS PAYABLE LEDGER page 304 All of the vendor accounts make up the complete accounts payable ledger. After the accounts payable ledger has been posted, the credit balance in each vendor account represents the amount the business owes each vendor. LESSON 11-1

PROVING THE ACCOUNTS PAYABLE LEDGER page 305 Schedule of accounts payable—a listing of vendor accounts, account balances, and total amount due all vendors; usually is prepared at the end of the month After all postings are complete, the total accounts payable shown on the schedule of accounts payable should be the same amount as the controlling account, Accounts Payable. If the amounts are the same, then the accounts payable ledger is proved. LESSON 11-1

LESSON 11-2: Posting to an Accounts Receivable Ledger A separate account is prepared for each customer in the accounts receivable subsidiary ledger. An account number is assigned to each customer account to increase the ease of filing and locating the accounts. Hobby Shack uses a 3 digit number to identify the type of account—asset—and to identify the specific customer. The total of all customer account balances in the accounts receivable ledger should always equal the balance of the controlling account, Accounts Receivable. The total amount to be collected from all charge customers is summarized in a single general ledger account, Accounts Receivable.

A separate accounts receivable ledger form is prepared for each customer account. LESSON 11-2

POSTING FROM A SALES JOURNAL TO AN ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE LEDGER page 309 Hobby Shack’s sales journal has a special column for Accounts Receivable debit. When a sale on account is recorded in a sales journal, the customer’s name is written in the Account Debited column of the journal. The amount debited to Accounts Receivable needs to be posted to the customer’s accounts receivable ledger account so that a record can be maintained of the amount owed to the business by that customer. The frequent posting of sales helps to keep the customers’ accounts up to date. LESSON 11-2

Postings Hobby Shack posts vendor and customer accounts periodically during the month so that the balances of these subsidiary ledgers will be up to date. The general ledger accounts need to be up to date before preparing financial statements. Hobby Shack prepares monthly financial statements so Hobby Shack posts all the general ledger accounts before a trial balance is prepared. The individual postings to the general ledger accounts may also be done periodically during the month, but must always be done at the end of the month. LESSON 11-1

Order of Posting From Special Journals The journals should be posted in the following order: Sales Journal Purchases Journal General Journal Cash Receipts Journal Cash Payments Journal LESSON 11-1
