When goods are returned from a customer, the journal entry typically involves debiting the Sales Returns and Allowances account to reflect the decrease in sales revenue and crediting the Accounts Receivable or Cash account, depending on how the original sale was recorded. For example, if the return involves a credit to the customer's account, the entry would be: Debit: Sales Returns and Allowances Credit: Accounts Receivable This entry effectively reverses the sale and acknowledges the return of goods.
