Accounts Receivable
The bookkeeping process for accounts receivable begins with recording the initial sale of goods or services. For example, a small business owner may sell a widget for $10 on credit. The bookkeeper would record this sale as an increase in the accounts receivable account and the $10 as revenue.
The bookkeeper would then create an invoice for the customer that includes the terms of the sale, such as “net 30 days.” This means that the customer has 30 days to pay for the widget. The bookkeeper would also record any payments received from the customer as they are made.
If the customer does not pay within 30 days, the bookkeeper would record a decrease in accounts receivable and an increase in bad debt expense. This expense is recorded in order to match the amount of revenue that was originally recognized when the sale was made.
Inventory Control
Inventory control is an essential part of bookkeeping. It is important to ensure that the correct amount of inventory is on hand at all times, and to track inventory levels so that they do not get too high or too low. Inventory must be counted and tracked on a regular basis in order to maintain an accurate count. If the level of inventory gets too low, it may be necessary to place a new order; if the level gets too high, it may be necessary to sell some of the inventory.
There are a number of different ways to track inventory levels. One common method is to use a barcode scanner to scan the items as they are added to or removed from inventory. This allows you to keep track of how much inventory is on hand at any given time, and also helps you keep track of which items are most popular and which ones are selling less quickly.
