21 September 2010 Hi Manjot, as purchase and sales acs are real A/cs (being goods), purchase return and sales return a/cs are also real a/c. Just to understand the nature of transaction and its presentation in financial statements, different names are given. But it will not change nature of goods. when goods come in, A/c will get debited (purchase/sales return) when it goes out, a/c will get credited (sales/ purchase return). It is real A/c.
