The purchase journal is posted to the general ledger by transferring the total amounts recorded in the purchase journal to the corresponding accounts in the general ledger, typically the Accounts Payable and inventory accounts. Each entry is recorded as a debit to the inventory account and a credit to the accounts payable account. This posting process usually occurs at the end of an accounting period, ensuring that all purchases are accurately reflected in the financial statements. Posting can be done manually or through accounting software, which automates the process for efficiency.
