[debit] sales returns
credit cash / accounts receivable
To properly record a sales journal entry, you need to debit the accounts receivable or cash account for the amount of the sale, and credit the sales revenue account. This reflects the increase in assets or cash from the sale, and the revenue earned from the transaction.
To record a journal entry in QuickBooks, go to the Company menu, select Make General Journal Entries, enter the date and journal entry number, choose the accounts to debit and credit, input the amounts, and save the entry.
It is a source document for journal entries to notify that a credit sales has taken plece, i.e sombody(debtors) owe money to the business in return for the goods.
It is impossible to remember the reason for every entry & the entries in the journal sometimes involve "out of the ordinary" transactions.
