132. Discuss the process of posting from a revenue journal to the subsidiary ledger and to the general ledger.

ANSWER:                                  Each transaction is posted individually to customer accounts in the accounts receivable subsidiary ledger. This should be done on a regular basis to keep customer balances current.

 

To provide a trail of the entries posted to the subsidiary and general ledgers, the source of the entries is indicated in the Posting Reference column by inserting the letter R for Revenue Journal and the page number of the revenue journal.

 

A check mark is inserted in the Posting Reference column to indicate that the transaction has been posted to the subsidiary ledger.

 

At the end of the month, the column total is posted to the general ledger as a debit to Accounts Receivable and a credit to Fees Earned. This total is equal to the sum of the month’s debits to the individual accounts in the subsidiary ledger.

ANSWER:                                  A subsidiary ledger groups a large number of accounts with a common characteristic together.  Each subsidiary ledger is summarized in the general ledger by a controlling account. Most commonly, companies use accounts receivable and accounts payable subsidiary ledgers to detail individual customer or vendor accounts. Businesses often use subsidiary ledgers to keep track of equipment purchased, its location, and other equipment data.

160. special journals
161. accounts receivable control accounts
162. electronic invoice form
163. month-end postings to the general ledger
