Like Newtons Law, 'For Every action, there is an equal and
opposite reaction', For any Accounting Transaction you do
there are always 2 Effects. For E.g; When you buy something
you pay something, IF you don't pay right away, your
liability to pay the amount at future date arises. If you
sell something you get the compensation/price or a
commitment to get paid on a future Date. So Ledger Posting
is Posting of these 2 aspects, which we describe as 'Debit'
& 'Credit' to appropriate accounts.
In other words, segregating the aspects of Debit & Credit of
each Transactions to respective Ledger Heads based on the
Nature of Accounts(real,Nominal&Personal) according to the
Golden Rule of Accounts which are as below;
REAL ACCOUNTS DEBIT WHAT COMES IN
CREDIT WHAT GOES OUT
NOMINAL ACCOUNTS DEBIT ALL EXPENSES AND LOSSES
CREDIT ALL INCOMES AND REVENUES
PERSONAL ACCOUNTS DEBIT THE GIVER
CREDIT THE RECEIVER
