Purchase Book
It is also known as a Purchase journal, Invoice book or Purchase day book. Purchase book is a
special purpose subsidiary book prepared by a business to record all credit purchases. Nowadays
all these recordings occur in ERPs (Enterprise Resource Planning.) and only small firms resort
solely to notebooks or MS-Excel.
Few things to note are,
Purchases recorded are only for goods or items related to core business operations of a company
i.e. goods procured for resale.
Example – If a grocery business purchases office furniture it will not be posted in the purchases
book as it is considered as “purchase of an asset” and not goods.
Cash purchases are recorded in cash book and credit purchases are recorded in purchase book.
