Is the 13th account in the ledger
The "Post Reference" or PR is used ona Ledger to lead you back to the original transaction by identifying the Journal and the page in the Journal. Example - GJ1 = General Journal, page 1. On a Journal the PR can be used to identify the account number used from the chart of accounts
SUB LEDGER (Depatmental Operating Accounts)An account in the Sub Ledger has a non-zero first digit (eg. 3-3XXXX) and reflects all budget, revenue, expense and encumbrance activity for the current year. Except for a very few cases, all requisitions should be prepared using Sub Ledger accounts.GENERAL LEDGERAn account in the General Ledger has zero as its first digit (eg. 0-3XXXX) and reflects the cumulative status to date of the account. The most important information on the General Ledger account statement is the fund balance account control (3X00, where X represents the second digit of the account number). This amount is the cumulative account balance. If the amount is a credit (negative figure) there is a surplus in the account. If the amount is a debit (positive figure) there is a deficit in the account.
If this is in reference to a debit card, the checking account number is not found on the card, for obvious reasons.
1. Write the date of the transaction in the account's Date Column. 2. Write the amount of the transaction in the Debit or Credit column and enter the new balance in Balance column under Debit or Credit. 3. Write the page number of the journal in the Post. Ref. column of the ledger account. 4. Record the ledger account number in the Post. Ref. column of the journal.
