Specialised journals In this chapter we cover specialised journals. In the first three chapters of this textwe have used the general journal to record al financial transactions. However, using the general journal to record all financial transactions is time consuming. We now introduce four additional journals: cash receipts journal, cash payments journal, sales journal and purchases journal. The general journal is then only used to record specific types of transactions, Ina manual system, the use of these additional Journals will speed up the recording process. You will also learn how to total the journals and post the totals to the general ledger. ‘After studying this chapter you should be able tor EEN cecord financial transactions in the salesjournal, purchases journal, cash receipts journal, cash payments journal, and general journal; REM total journals at the end of a period; (BEND record discounts in the appropriate journals; EMD post journals to the general ledger.

The income is recognised when the sale is made, th waiting until payment is r record credit sales, le is c current asset and is the amount owing to from the customer. Asales journal generally has six columns, The first column is the date. The second column we have headed as the details column. Itis sometimes called the particulars column. It gives the name of the debtor that the credit sale has been made to. The next column Is for the invoice number. The first monetary column is the accounts receivable column. It shows the total amount of the sale, including GST, which is the amount that the debtor owes to the business. It is a debit column. The second monetary column is the income column, It shows the GST-exclusive amount of the redit column. The d sT portion of the eale cmd is also a credit colurnn, At the end of the period, the columns should be totalled. The total of the accounts olumn should be equal to the total of the income column and the GST ‘olumn.

Itis necessary to debit accounts payable with the full amountof the debt because the ness has decreased by the full amount, even though only the discounted amount has been paid Inthe above example, we credited the discount received from Uneleo to the discount received account. Some businesees would credit this discount to the electricity expense ‘account, and use the discount received account only for discounts on payments to inventory suppliers. In this case, the discount received account would probably be shown in the cost of goods sold section of the chart of accounts. There is merit in both ‘qpproaches. The reasoning behind crediting all discounts to the discount received ‘account is that the decision to pay accounts payable early and claim the prompt payment discountis financing decision, and therefore all discounts should be coded to the sane aecount. On the other hand, it can also be argued that as the discount in this case relates to electricity, the electricity expense should be credited to show the ount paid on electricity. While both approaches aze valid, in this text we will show all discounts received in one account, regardless of the nature of the original purchase, with the exception of amy discounts recaived on payments for non-current cazseets. Discounts received on the payment for non-current assets will be credited to the cost of that particular asset, and will be covered in Chapier 9. GST has to be calculated on the discount and is shown as a negative amount in the GST paid column, Alternatively, an additional credit column, GST collected, can bbe added to the cash payments journal.
