Difference between single and double entry?

Answer Posted / faysalsam

Double entry means that first you book Receivable or Payable
against Sale or Purchase then post Received and Payment.
for e.g
A/c Receivable DR
Sales CR

then
Bank/Cash DR
A/C Receivable CR

In Single Entry directly post Expense or Income with
Receivable and Payable

Expense DR
Cash CR

Cash DR
Rent Income CR
