The goods sold are benefit transferred to the purchaser (Credit) whereas the cash received if the benefit against the goods sold (Debit).- - When the goods are sold on credit the benefit given is the same i.e. goods sold but the benefit received is not cash but a right to receive cash from the customer.

So, the benefit received is cash and benefit transferred is the right to receive cash. Here cash will be debited and customer will be credited.
