And in the same manner as we record the other transactions during the accounting period here we also include a description of the transaction for further reference.  The next step is to post those items into the general ledger account.  We start from other expenses.  This account is used for the first time there were no entries from previous transactions and we post the amount from general journal to the debit side of this account.
