General Ledger
The general journal is the journal that is used to record all adjusting and closing entries at the end of the particular accounting period. In simple, the transactions which are not recorded in the special journal that transactions are recorded in the general journal.
Accounts receivable subsidiary ledger:
Account receivable subsidiary ledger is the ledger which is used to post the customer transaction in one particular ledger account. It helps the business to locate the error in the customer ledger balance. After all transactions are posted, the balances in the accounts receivable subsidiary ledger should be totaled, and compare with the balance in the general ledger of accounts receivable. If both the balance does not agree, the error has been located and corrected.
Revenue journal:

Working note:
Calculate the total credits in the accounts receivable
Explanation:
In this case, accounts receivable subsidiary ledger is used to identify and locate the error by way of cross-checking the customer balance and accounts receivable controlling account. From the above calculation, we can understand that both balances of accounts receivable are agreed, hence there is no error in the recording and posing of transactions.
7.
To discuss: The reason for an automated system omit to post a controlling accounting system.
Explanation of Solution
At the time of the original transactions are entered, the individual sales transactions are posted automatically in the computer system. So, there is no need to post the summary totals to the general ledger accounts.
