The book that is used to record the transactions first, is known as Journal or Book of Original Entry.Journal is a subsidiary book or supporting book.It is also known as Book of Prime Entry or Day Book.

The Journal shows the names of accounts and amounts to be debited and credited in respect of each transaction.The process of making entries in the Journal is known as Journalising.After each journal entry, a brief description of the transaction is given, it is known as narration.Journal has only one side with Date, Particulars,Ledger Folio,Debit and Credit Columns.Journal facilitates cross checking of ledger accounts in case a trial balance does not agree.
