Information Sheet 2.2-1
Transferring Journal Entries
Learning Objectives:
After reading this Information Sheet you should be able to:
1. identify the procedures in transferring journal entries; and

2. explain each step to perform in transferring journal entries according
to accounting principle.
Introduction:
In the previous lesson, you learned how to open accounts in the

general ledger. In this lesson you will learn how to transfer general
journal entries to the ledger. Recall that posting is the process of
transferring information from the general journal to individual general
ledger accounts. To provide current information to management, the
accountant for the Jeep dealer in your area probably posts journal
entries to the general ledger every day.
The general journal is a sort of business diary containing all of the

transactions of a business. It is not easy to see the effect of changes in an
account by looking at journal entries. To provide a clear picture of how a
business transaction changes an account’s balance, the information in a
journal entry is transferred to the general ledger. This is one of the activities
in posting transactions. The purpose of posting is to show the impact of
business transactions on the individual accounts. The ledger is sometimes
called the book of final entry.
The size of the business, the number of transactions, and whether the
accounting system is manual or computerized all affect how often posting
occurs. Ideally, businesses post daily to keep their accounts up-to-date.
Regardless of how often posting is performed, the process remains the same.
As in journalizing a transaction, posting to a ledger account is completed
from left to right. Let’s look at a journal entry for Roadrunner that is ready
to be posted to the ledger.

Transferring Journal Entries
Roadrunner’s first transaction affects two accounts: Cash in Bank and

Maria Sanchez, Capital. The information in the journal entry is transferred
item by item from the journal to each of the accounts affected. As you read
about each step in the posting process, refer to figure below.
Locate the account to be debited in the ledger; in this example, Cash
in Bank is to be debited.
1. Enter the date of the journal entry in the Date column of the account
debited. Use the date of the journal entry, not the date on which the
posting is done. Write the year and month in the left side of the Date

column. It is not necessary to write the year and month for other
postings to the same account on the same page unless the month or
year changes. The day, however, is always entered.
2. The Description column on the ledger account is usually left blank.

Some businesses use this space to write in the source document
number.
3. In the ledger account Posting Reference (Post. Ref.) column, identify

where the journal entry is recorded. Enter a letter for the specific
journal and the journal page number. In this example the letter “G”
represents the general journal and the “1” indicates page 1 of the
general journal.
4. Enter the debit amount in the Debit column of the ledger account.
5. Compute and record the new account balance in the appropriate

balance column. Every amount posted will either increase or decrease
the balance of that account.
6. Return to the journal and, in the Posting Reference column, enter the
account number of the ledger account to which you just posted the
debit part of the journal entry. Be sure it is entered on the same line
as the debit entry. In this example enter 101 in the Posting Reference
column on the line for Cash in Bank.
This step in the posting process is very important. The notation

in the Posting Reference column of the journal indicates that the
journal entry has been posted. The posting reference also shows the
account to which the entry was posted. If the posting process is
interrupted, perhaps by a telephone call, the posting reference signals
the point at which posting stopped. Never write an account number in
the Posting Reference column until after you have posted.
7. Repeat steps 1–6 for the credit part of the journal entry.
a. Locate the account to be credited. In this example Maria Sanchez,
Capital, is to be credited.
b. Enter the date.
c. Enter the posting reference on the ledger account form. In this
example, G1 represents the first page of the general journal.

was posted to Maria Sanchez, Capital.
