I am confused about the credit and debit entries in my account. Can you explain how credits and debits work in BUSY?
In a BUSY,credit and debit entries in any ledger reflect on the basis of the entry in which they have been either debited or credited. To understand the meaning of debit and credit amounts reflecting in the ledger, firstly you have to know about the account group nature. If the account group has a debit in nature and the ledger shows a debit side value, that means that particular account value is increasing in your company. On the other hand, if the ledger shows a credit side value, that means the account value is decreasing or reducing in your company. Whatever the side has a higher value, the difference of debit and credit will come on the basis of it.
