Debtors balance - Previous year

This query is : Resolved 

10 March 2020 Sir,

One of our customer's bank receipt agst sales has been accounted as cash sales and same time sales entry booked in parties A/c as credit sales in the PY. Finalization & filing of PY already over.
Now Customer A/c showing, received amount as receivable.

Could you please suggest a way to rectify this error?

10 March 2020 If it was cash sale & if it has recorded as credit sale then that much cash/bank balance would have been under stated. Now Pass an entry:: Cash A/c Dr To Debtor You can also adjust through prior period items

10 March 2020 Do reverse entry on 1st April

10 March 2020 Yes, you can do reverse entry for credit sale and pass the entry for cash sale . effect is same..

11 March 2020 Thanks for the information sir.

Let me explain the entries which I've put in PY.

Bank A/c Dr
To Sales A/c
&
Customer A/c Dr
To Sales A/c
(Net effect -
Double entry on sales A/c & Customer a/c showing debit balance, which is not receivable)

22 May 2020 Since you have credited credit sale instead of cash sale and debited the customer account instead of Cash, you need to now DEBIT Credit Sales Account and CREDIT Customer Account.
