The journal for recording the sale of a service on credit is?

The journal specifically used for recording the sale of a service on credit is the Sales journal. This journal is designed to capture all transactions related to sales made on credit, distinguishing it from other transactions like cash sales or purchases.

When a service is sold on credit, it creates an accounts receivable, reflecting that the customer owes money to the service provider. The Sales journal will record details such as the date of the transaction, the customer’s name, the amount owed, and any other pertinent information relevant to the sale.

Other journals serve different functions. The Cash Receipts journal is specifically for tracking cash inflows, while the General journal accommodates various transactions that don't fit neatly into other specialized journals. The Purchases journal is used for recording purchases of inventory or equipment, not services sold. Each of these journals has a distinct purpose, making the Sales journal the appropriate choice for credit sales of services.
