  1. Chapter 7 Accounting for Salesand Accounts Receivable Section 1: Merchandise Sales Section Objectives • Record credit sales in a sales journal. • Post from the sales journal to the general ledger accounts.

  2. Posting from a Sales Journal

  3. Objective 2 Post from the sales journal to the general ledger accounts.

  4. With a sales journal it is not necessary to post each credit sale individually to general ledger accounts. Instead, summary postings are made at the end of the month after the amount columns of the sales journal are totaled.

  5. Before any posting takes place, the equality of the debits and credits recorded in the sales journal is proved by comparing the column totals. Oh yeah!

  6. Proof of Sales Journal Debits Accounts Receivable Debit column $5,886.00 Credits Sales Tax Payable Credit column Sales Credit column $ 436.00 5,450.00 $5,886.00
