In bookkeeping, debits(Dr) and credits(Cr) are entries made in account ledgers to record changes in value resulting from company's operations. The entry made on the right side of the account's ledger is the credit and the entry made on the left side is the debit. Total debits must equal total credits for each business transaction; individual transactions may require multiple debit and credit entries to record.

The difference between the total debits and total credits in a single account is the account's balance. If debits exceed credits, the account has a debit balance; if credits exceed debits, the account has a credit balance.The company's totals of debit balances and credit balances must be equal as presented in the trial balance, otherwise, an error has occurred.
