Journalizing involves writing journal entries in the general journal for every transaction. It is the first step in the recording process; hence the general journal is called the book of original entry. A journal page has a structure designed for efficient recording and presentation of details of the transaction.
Writing journal entries is not a matter of style, but of structure. The writing conventions ensure uniformity across all entities regardless of size or industry. The way journal entries are written is facilitated using journals that have specific sections for the information needed to record details of the transaction.
