Double Entry Example
In this example the following will be used:
Books of prime entry (Books of original entry)
- Sales Invoice Daybook (records customer invoices)
- Bank Receipts Daybook (records customer & non customer receipts)
- Cash book
- Return inwards day book
- Return outwards day book
- Purchase Invoice Daybook (records supplier invoices)
- Bank Payments Daybook (records supplier & non supplier payments)
The books of prime entry are where transactions are first recorded. They are not part of the double-entry system, but may be expanded by the computer as a debit to one account and a credit to another account. For example, a cash receipts transaction may cause a debit (increase) to a cash account and a credit (decrease) to an accounts receivable account.

Famous quotes containing the words double and/or entry:
“Today, San Francisco has experienced a double tragedy of incredible proportions. As acting mayor, I order an immediate state of mourning in our city. The city and county of San Francisco must and will pull itself together at this time. We will carry on as best as we possibly can.... I think we all have to share the same sense of shame and the same sense of outrage.”
—Dianne Feinstein (b. 1933)
“When women can support themselves, have entry to all the trades and professions, with a house of their own over their heads and a bank account, they will own their bodies and be dictators in the social realm.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
