Thnak you for your help

I'm still trying to figure out why you have two different sales accounts... I can't figure out how you're making a subsidiary out of sales. The debtors accounts would be the subsidiary. But if that is what you're doing, it means it has to be posted twice, one to the controlling account and once to the subsidary.

And I wouldn't think a purchase return would be on the purchases journal. Since there are no rules about what has to be on these journals, I don't know what's on it. If you got a cash refund I would think it would go on a cash receipts journal.
