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:
“Each in their double Eden closed
They fail to see the gardener there
Has planted Error....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“All mothers need instruction, nurturing, and an understanding mentor after the birth of a baby, but in this age of fast foods, fast tracks, and fast lanes, it doesn’t always happen. While we live in a society that provides recognition for just about every life event—from baptisms to bar mitzvahs, from wedding vows to funeral rites—the entry into parenting seems to be a solo flight, with nothing and no one to mark formally the new mom’s entry into motherhood.”
—Sally Placksin (20th century)
