Journal Voucher
A Journal voucher is an adjustment voucher. Thus all amounts to be adjusted between two accounts are passed as a journal. By the term adjustment, we mean that no physical movement of funds takes place. For example, if a sale of Rs. 1000 is made to a party and the party returns Rs. 900 after having deducted Rs. 100 for short supply of goods, then physical fund transfer has been Rs.900 only. However this entry is passed as receipt, then an outstanding of Rs. 100 will remain against the party, which would be incorrect. Typically this amount is adjusted by a journal debiting the amount to sales or sales return A/c and crediting the party, thus cleaning its accounts.
