Financial Accounting Reporting Analysis And Decision Making 7th Edition – Shirley Carlon

If a business uses a periodic system, purchases is debited for purchases of inventory. Helpful hint: A single-column purchases journal is not added to check the equality of debits and credits as the total will be posted once as a debit and then as a credit in the general ledger. However, it is a good idea to add the total twice before posting to ensure the total posted is, in fact, correct. Also, the accounts payable account in the general ledger can also be called the Accounts payable control account.

Journalising credit purchases of inventory Entries in the purchases journal are made from suppliers’ invoices. The journalising procedure is similar to that used for the sales journal. In contrast to the sales journal, the purchases journal may not have an invoice number column because invoices received from different suppliers will not be in numerical sequence.

To ensure that all purchase invoices are recorded, some entities consecutively number each invoice upon receipt and then use an internal document number column in the purchases journal. The entries for Karns Wholesale Supply are based on the assumed credit purchases shown in figure 6.19. FIGURE 6.19 Credit purchases transactions Date Supplier Amount May 6 Jasper Manufacturing Ltd $11 000 10 Eaton and Howe Ltd 7 200 14 Fabor and Son Ltd 6 900 19 Jasper Manufacturing Ltd 17 500 26 Fabor and Son Ltd 8 700 29 Eaton and Howe Ltd 12 600 Posting the purchases journal The procedures for posting the purchases journal are similar to those for the sales journal.

In this case, postings are made daily to the accounts payable subsidiary ledger and monthly to inventory and accounts payable in the general ledger. In both the subsidiary and general ledgers, P1 is used in the reference column to show that the postings are from page 1 of the purchases journal. Helpful hint: Postings to subsidiary ledger accounts are done daily because it is often necessary to know a current balance for the subsidiary accounts.

The check on the equality of the postings from the purchases journal to both ledgers is shown in figure 6.20. FIGURE 6.20 Checking the equality of the purchases journal Expanding the purchases journal Some businesses expand the purchases journal to include all types of purchases on account. Instead of one column for inventory and accounts payable, they use a multicolumn format.
