Excerpt from The Theory of Accounts: Containing the Essentials of Bookkeeping and Forms of Higher Accounting If we wish to make entries in the day book that do not show debits or credits, we can use any descriptive style that may be brief and plain and omit the term Dr. Or Cr. The day book is generally ruled with two amount columns, the first being used for the items of a transaction, and the second for the total of these items. If only one item belongs to a transaction, its amount can be carried out to the last column. A transaction that is partly for cash and partly on account, as a purchase with cash paid for a part of the amount and the balance on account, or a sale with cash received for a part of the amount and the balance on account, should be posted in full in the ledger. The entire purchase should be credited from the day book, and the cash paid to apply on same should be debited from the cash book; or the entire sale should be debited from the day book, and the cash received to ap ply ou same should be credited from the cash book.
