When posting to the sales ledger control account or purchase ledger control account do your entries include cash sales and cash purchases? This is as well as, credit sales & credit purchases.
No, the opposite entry for cash sales or purchases will be the bank/cash account. For cash purchases (ignoring VAT):
Dr Purchases Cr Bank
Cash sales: Dr Bank Cr Sales
Only credit sales and purchases interact with their respective control accounts. The control accounts serve as a stopgap between the sale or purchase being made and the money being received or paid.
So for credit sales, the first entry would be: Dr SLCA Cr Sales
Then once the payment is received: Dr Bank Cr SLCA
