1 Journals and Debtors control
FAC1502 Journals and Debtors control Journals and Debtors control You as an accountant of A-Z Bookseller need to receive a source document like an invoice from a student that just bought his prescribed book before you can take action. It could only be a cash or a credit transaction.

2 Journals Sales Journal - Jan 20.2 Invoice Date Details Fol Sales
VAT Output Debtors R 245774 30 SA Meshesha 750.00 105.00 855.00 Record the transaction in one of the seven Journals. If it is on credit record the transaction in the sales journal because A-Z Bookseller is selling prescribed books. Because of the large number of transactions like students buying books at A-Z Bookseller, it is not practical to record each transaction directly in the ledger (this makes the ledger very bulky and unmanageable). Transactions of the same type are grouped together in summarised form in the ledger. A journal is thus a link between source documents and the ledger.
