Assets and Expenses go on the left hand side and Liabilities, Owners Equity and Revenue on the right hand side. Your receipts (received when a cash sale takes place) and invoices (issued when a credit sale takes place) are the source documents used to draw up the accounts from which you will take the information for your trial balance. The order in which one conducts business is: Source →transaction →data processing →trial balance →final accounts. Each transaction will have a double effect to balance your accounts.
