    Boecker Builders on account
    Sold pipe and plumbing materials to Boecker Builders on account, invoice No. 1210 for $45,040.
    I know I have to debit accounts receivable and credit a sales account. But what Sales account would it be??
    If it is Sales Revenue then I don't understand why?

    Revenue is another way of saying income so yes you will credit sales and what you call the account is up to you. You may have a number of sales accounts to keep a record of various types of sales and these will be aggregated when you come to prepare financial reports

    Sold materials on account
    Sold pipe and plumbing materials to Boecher Builders on account, invoice No. 1210 for $45,040.

    I know that you debit accounts receivable and credit the sales accout that is belongs to but I have no idea what sales account it would go under.
    If it is Sales revenue then I don't understand why?
    Please give me some guidance!
    :)
    Thanks!

    What sort of guidance are you seeking? We cannot see your chart of accounts. It is sales revenue because revenue is income and sales are a form of revenue or income. Just reasking a question over and over doesn't make your problem plainer as you have already identified
    Debit accounts receivable (sub account Boecher)
    Credit sales (sub account ?)
