Preparing a Chart of Accounts

2. 5-1
Journal provides a permanent record of debit and credit parts of a transaction--in chronological order.
However, a journal does not show, in one place, all the changes in a single account.
If only a journal is used, a business must search through all journal pages to find items affecting a single account balance.
Instead, a form is used to summarize in one place all the changes to a single account.
Consequently, after transactions are journalized, the journal entries have to be copied, or posted, to the individual accounts.

All separate amounts in these columns are posted individually.
Therefore, the column totals are not posted individually.
