Explain Sundry Debtors and Sundry Creditors.

Answer Posted / aqeel raza

Sometimes, the firm may have to give advance to suppliers for goods or services, deposit as security, loan or advance to staff etc. which are received after meeting the purpose may also come under sundry debtors and recorded in general ledger or we can make subsidiary ledger of accounts having various persons or firms involved like loan to staff in large organization which is receivable bit by bit may be subsidized.
Hence, a person or firm is given money for something other than goods or services sold to them comes under sundry debtors.

In case of getting something relating to expense from a person or an organization on credit basis, the company accrues or creates its liability debiting expense account and crediting person or firm account in general ledger under sundry creditors. Sundry creditors do not belong to trade relating to purchase of merchandise for doing business.
Therefore, a person or firm supplies goods or services on credit basis relating to expense are also referred to sundry creditors or sundry payables.
The subsidiary ledger of sundry creditors may be made in case of huge volume of transactions under control account of Accrued Expenses in general ledger otherwise no need of creating subsidiary ledger.
