Answer / h.r. sreepada bhagi

Journal is a book of primary entry, where as Ledger is a
book of secondary entry. All transactions are entered
through journals by type such as Purchase Journal, Sales
Journal, Payments, Receipts, Debit Notes, Credit Notes,
General Journal, etc. These transactions are then
transferred to Ledger which have full all transaction
details for each revenue(income) A/c, Expense A/c, Customers
A/cs, Vendors A/cs and all Assets & Liabilities A/cs.

journals first & from there they are posted to concerned
