What are recording purchases?Show answer
When goods are bought for resale, the cost goes straight into the asset account Inventory, not a Purchases account. A credit purchase of stock is recorded as debit Inventory, debit GST clearing, and credit Creditors Control for the total.
What is recording a sale?Show answer
Because the system tracks both the sale and the cost at the moment of sale, every sale has two parts.
