Make journal entries in the books of creditor and debtor at the time of drawing, acceptance, and payment of a bill of exchange.
When a bill is written it is known as "drawing" a bill. The person who draws it is the creditor and the person to whom it is addressed is the debtor. The creditor and the debtor are also known as the drawer and the drawee respectively. When the drawee signifies his assent to the order in writing he becomes the acceptor of the bill if exchange. It is said to be discharged when the acceptor makes the actual payment on the bill on the maturity date. Journal entries in the books of drawer and drawee are as under:
Creditor's Books
(a) When a bill of exchange is drawn and accepted.
