The Accounts receivable subsidiary ledger or any other subsidiary ledger can be in the form of a card file, a binder notebook, a formal, pre-printed ledger page, or computer files. It will not have page numbers, but each account may have a unique number to help identify it. The accounts receivable subsidiary ledger is organized alphabetically by customer name and address; new customers can be added and inactive customers deleted, once the balance in their account is zero. To make ease in journalizing process, the accounts receivable subsidiary ledger are organized in alphabetical order.

Why may a control account carries both debit and credit balances?

A control account summarizes a set of subsidiary accounts. For example, Accounts receivable may have a control account, representing total Accounts receivable, and also may have a set of subsidiary accounts, representing the amount of Accounts receivable owed by each customer/debtor. The total of all subsidiary accounts must equal the balance of the control account. Control accounts will have debit or credit balances depending on the nature of those accounts. Control accounts for assets, such as Accounts receivable or Fixed assets, will have native debit balances. Control accounts for liabilities, such as Accounts payable, will have native credit balances.

How is subsidiary ledger different to the general ledger?

A subsidiary ledger is a group of similar accounts whose combined balances equal the balance in a specific general ledger account. The general ledger account that summarizes a subsidiary ledger's account balances is called a control account or master account. For example, an accounts receivable subsidiary ledger (customers' subsidiary ledger) includes a separate account for each customer who makes credit purchases. The combined balance of every account in this subsidiary ledger equals the balance of accounts receivable in the general ledger. Posting a debit or credit to a subsidiary ledger account and also to a general ledger control account does not violate the rule that total debit and credit entries must balance because subsidiary ledger accounts are not part of the general ledger; they are supplemental accounts that provide the detail to support the balance in a control account.
