6. Summary: Stock Sales (Flowchart)

6.3. Ledger Accounts: Sales




The original transaction will take place on the Debtors when an Invoice is done with stock line items on. This we call the Detail Ledgers. The transactions will be posted through the Debtors invoice to the correct ledger accounts on the Income statement and Balance sheet.

The Ledger accounts that are applicable when doing a sale (Debtors invoice):

  • The debtor's control account (CAS1)
  • The VAT control account (CLI2)
  • The income account (INC2 and INC3)
  • The cost of sale account (EXP1)
  • The stock control account (CAS2)

The transaction takes place on the detailed ledger but then adds up to the main ledgers mentioned above.
