Accounting journal entries?
I am assuming this question is asking what Accounting journal entries are? Each of a firm's transactions are recorded in journals. Each major transaction is recorded in the General Journal, where various repetitive transactions are recorded in special journals, with the totals translated into the General Journal later. These journal entries are the basis for the General Ledger, the Trial Balance, and the Financial Statements. There are two components to any journal entry: Debits and Credits. Whenever you debit accounts in your journal entry, you must credit other accounts for an equal amount. Your total debits should always equal total credits. As an example, these are what the journal entries for the sale of inventory to a customer might look like. Part 1 - The Inventory was sold to an outside customer for $100. Debit: Cash $100 Credit: Revenue $100 Part 2 - The Cost of the Inventory credited to the books Debit: Cost of Goods Sold $75 Credit: Merchandise Inventory $75

Why the trial balance may not balance?
Answer:The purpose of the trial balance is (historically) to verify if any errors were made with posting the journal entries to the ledger. Every journal entry makes debits and credits to (at least) two T-accounts, where the total of the debit and credit amounts need to be equal. The journal entry is posted to the journal, and the T-accounts affected are updated in the ledger. The trial balance is a list of all T-accounts and their balances. As the underlying journal entries need to balance out (total debits equal total credits), the balances of the trial balance also need to balance. If this is not the case, it means that an error has been made. It means that some journal entry has been entered into the ledger which did not balance.With computerized bookkeeping, this purpose (checking for errors) has been lost (at least for the user, the software may still use the trial balance to check for consistency).
Does the debit and credit sides of a T-Account have to balance?
The debits and credits for ALL the T-Accounts must balance - if you had the same debits and credits to each T-Account, your trial balance would be all zeros. If you take all the T-Accounts you've used in making your journal entry(s) and add them up, if the total debits and total credits don't agree you're missing part of an entry.
What do you call a journal entry with two or more credits and debits?
Journal entry with two or more debits and credits is called "Compound Journal Entry" because either in one transaction or more than one transactions are join together in one journal entry.
