Hi, I think you need to be clear that:
1. In the General Ledger: (Double entry all done here)
There’s a “Payable Control Account” inside the General Ledger.
From the Purchase Day Book, we debit Purchase A/c (net purchase), debit Sales Tax A/c (sales tax amt)
and credit Payable Control Account (Gross Amt) in the General Ledger with the “total” posted from the Purchase Day Book.
2. Payable Ledger: (separate thing from the General Ledger) (Single Credit/Debit entry here)
After that, you also need to Credit the “Payable Ledger” (which is the memorandum account, supplier’s personal accounts),
with the “individual entries” (eg: invoice 123 from Supplier A $1000…and so on) into “Supplier A’s account.
Single Credit entry: Cr Supplier A $1000
Im currently studying FA1 too…going for the dec exam soon 🙂
Hope it helps!
Regards,
Joey
