Hi friends, here we are going to learn journal entry for sale return.

Usually in accounting software we need to pass journal entry but before these we have to understand types of sales return

REVERSAL ENTRY FOR WHOLE QUANTITY RETURNED

My Dear friends after passing above entry you need to pass adjustment entry to cancel the sales, because the entry which we have passed increases the purchase.so, the adjustment entry is:-


SL.NO
PARTICULAR
DEBIT
CREDIT
1
Sales A/c      Dr
         To Purchase  A/c
1200

1200
          
(Narration: - Being purchase (Sales returned against bill no: 01) was reversed}
The rules for passing Journal entry
Debit
Here instead of sales return we purchased the material which leads to increase in purchase. Actually it has to be decreased from sales. So, we are debiting sales to decrease it.
Credit


As we are increasing purchase for sales return has to be decreased by crediting the purchase account.
