Answer:

A transaction should be recorded first in a journal because journal provides complete details of a transaction in one entry. Further, a journal forms the basis for posting the transactions into their respective accounts into ledger.

Explanation:

This is to say that before any details of business transaction can be posted into accounts in a proper ledger, they must first recorded in the book of original entry. All business transactions, their details and descriptions are first recorded in the book of original entry.

The first step involves identifying the transactions to be recorded and preparing the source documents which are in turn recorded in the basic book of original entry called journal and are then posted to individual accounts in the principal book called ledger.

The Bank Journal report makes bank reconciliation easier by providing a list of all transactions for a specific bank account or for all bank accounts. It enables you to view account opening and closing balances, and to list account transactions such as checks, receipts, and journal entries.

There are four specialty journals, which are so named because specific types of routine transactions are recorded in them. These journals are the sales journal, cash receipts journal, purchases journal, and cash disbursements journal.
