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:
“You know, when these New Negroes have their convention—that is going to be the chairman of the Committee on Unending Agitation. Race, race, race!... Damn, even the N double A C P takes a holiday sometimes!”
—Lorraine Hansberry (1930–1965)
“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)
