**Educational Material: How to Post Transactions to the General Ledger**

In accounting, one of the essential tasks is to post transactions to the general ledger. This guide will walk you through the process of posting transactions using a sample general ledger.

### Sample General Ledger Entry

Below is an example of a general ledger for the "Cash" account, with Account Number 101. Let's break down the elements and transactions listed in this general ledger.

---

#### ACCOUNT: Cash
##### ACCOUNT NO.: 101

**Date** | **Item** | **Post. Ref.** | **Debit** | **Credit** | **Balance (Debit)** | **Balance (Credit)**
-|-|-|-|-|-|-
Jan. 1 |✔| J1 ✔| 1,200 | | 1,200 |✔
Jan. 2 | | J2| | | |
Jan. 5 | | | | | |

---

### Explanation of Entries:

- **Date**: This column records the date of each transaction. In this example, transactions are dated Jan 1, Jan 2, and Jan 5 of a given year.
  
- **Item**: This column can be used to provide additional details about the transaction if necessary.
  
- **Post. Ref.**: Posting Reference (Post. Ref.) indicates the reference number or journal entry number that is being posted. For instance, `J1` and `J2` are used to signify journal entries.
  
- **Debit**: This column records amounts that have been debited to the account. For instance, on Jan 1, a debit of $1,200 has been recorded.
  
- **Credit**: This column records amounts that have been credited to the account.
  
- **Balance (Debit)** and **Balance (Credit)**: These columns keep a running balance of the account. On Jan 1, after posting the debit entry, the running balance is $1,200 in the Debit column.

### Graphs or Diagrams:
