A journal debit is an accounting entry that increases an asset or expense account, or decreases a liability or equity account. It is recorded on the left side of a journal entry and reflects the outflow of resources or the recognition of costs. In double-entry accounting, every debit must have a corresponding credit entry to maintain the accounting equation.
journal entries can be undone by reversing the original entries by credit the debit account and debit the credit account.
When recording a debit entry into a journal you must always list the debit first. The credit needs to be second and should always be indented.
