It is complex sometimes and time consuming. The main confusion comes with the number of associated accounts a company holds. For example, Ganesh is a supplier account in personal accounts. His account should be used when it is a credit transaction only. There are other complexities in book keeping like the same name Ganesh appearing as an owner which is a capital account in personal accounts. On top of that, Internet versions of journals and ledger entries vary in representation i.e., they can use the name Sundry creditor instead of payables, supplies instead of purchases etc. So, keep all entries related to General Ledger. This will help you to follow a standard or method of recording transactions in a consistent manner. Being consistent in recording transactions will reduce cost constraints and anomalies. The General Ledger I referred to holds all the individual ledgers like

Payables

Assets

Liabilities

Expenses

Capital 

Receivables

Purchases

Sales

Receivables

Returns
