Explanation

The “Bank” entry on the credit side shows money received from customers who owed the business. This is the total cash collected from all debtors during the period.

This isn’t about cash sales, which are recorded differently. Cash sales go directly to sales account. This entry specifically tracks collections from people who bought on credit earlier.

Remember: Sales ledger control tracks credit customers. Bank entry shows how much they actually paid.
