    which of the following is the correct journal entry to record a credit note issued to a customer for goods returned?

    A dr sales return

    cr cash

    B dr sales return

    cr receivables

    confused because I think it could be either depending on if its a cash sale or a credit sale. thanks in advance…..

    It is always B.

    Issuing a credit note does not automatically mean that you give them cash back – they might buy more goods and use the credit note to pay less.

    If you do give the cash back after issuing the credit note, then it is a separate entry – Dr Receivables Cr Cash
