7-step Process to Record a Transaction (Instructions page 11-12)
Read and analyze the transaction.
Find the appropriate flowchart(s) on pages 18 through 24 of the Instruction & Flowcharts book. Carefully read and follow all procedures in the flowcharts.
Locate and prepare appropriate documents if any are necessary for this transaction.
Record the transaction in journals if necessary. Use general journals only when no other journal is appropriate (only for one transaction: the write-off for transaction #12).
Post individual items to subsidiary ledgers if necessary. Then, place a check mark in the post reference columns to indicate that journal items have been posted.
Not required: Attempt to file the document in appropriate file tab to stay organized, but this will not be graded.
Confirm that you have completed all steps in the transaction and related flowchart(s) before proceeding to the next transaction. First complete the revenue transactions: 1, 2, 5, 6, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, followed by the expenditure transactions: 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 11, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20.
