It also shows the details of goods as regards its quantity, quality, other descriptions and the rate of trade discount allowed. In Ledger Folio (L.F.) column the page number of debtors account in the ledger is recorded for reference. The amount of various items of the goods sold is entered in the details column. Adjustments for trade discount, packing charges, etc., are made in the details column. In the total column, the net amount payable by individual customer is recorded. The total of the amount column is the total credit sales during the period.
