Bosworth Smith Productions is correct with respect to credit note CRN44. • Credit note CRN29 has not been taken into account by Edge Studios. Do I record these two on the General journal or the new creditors reconciliation statement (remittance advice) dated 10 May?

Answer

These items are adjustments to reconcile balances, not new transactions to be journalized by Bosworth Smith Productions.

These two credit notes would be handled differently:

  1. General Journal:

    • Neither CRN44 nor CRN29 would be recorded in the General Journal at this stage if Bosworth Smith Productions has already "taken them into account" or is "correct with respect to" them. The General Journal is used for the initial recording of transactions that don't fit into specialized journals (like the Purchases Journal or Cash Payments Journal). If Bosworth Smith has already processed these credit notes, they would have been recorded in their General Journal (or Purchases Returns Journal) when they were first received.
  2. New Creditors Reconciliation Statement (dated 10 May):

    • Both CRN44 and CRN29 would be included in the new creditors reconciliation statement as reconciling items.
    • CRN44: Since "Bosworth Smith Productions is correct with respect to credit note CRN44," this implies Bosworth Smith has recorded it. If Edge Studios has not yet recorded it, then it would be an adjustment on the reconciliation statement (typically subtracted from Edge Studios' statement balance to reflect the reduction in the amount owed).
    • CRN29: The statement "Credit note CRN29 has not been taken into account by Edge Studios" explicitly indicates that this is a reconciling item. Assuming Bosworth Smith has recorded it, this credit note would be subtracted from Edge Studios' statement balance on the reconciliation statement.
