Day Book Help Needed

jovinutter2108

Hi, I am taking my exam on Monday for bookkeeping level 1 and I am struggling with what to do on the day books. I understand about the net, vat and total but what I can't seem to get right is what is the credits and debits from each day book. Sales, sale returns, purchases and purchase returns. I know that they have to go into a different ledger from there but I can't seem to figure it out. My tutor told me to plan it on the bottom of each column so vat may have been debit vat from the purchase day book. Now after a few weeks she said we have wrote it down wrong and I am running out of time to figure this out as we took our mock exam and each of us got it wrong and didn't know what ledger to put things into. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks a lot Shamil. I'll have a look at it over the next few days as I really need to know this but am getting conflicting comments at college. :-(

Your most welcome, dont worry you will get it soon, its not hard it can be confusing though. You should even use youtube they explain it really well on there which can help you out.
