Why prepare a Ledger?

for convenience, facility, time save, easy access etc...

Let me give you an example Now suppose you buy a new house You have brought all the necessary items for that house in a truck All the items in that vehicle are yours but every item is placed in every place of that house for example clothes in the bedroom, furniture in every place according to your need, why all of your items are kept taken separately, the answer is Convenience. Similarly, there will be almost over a hundred transactions in the company in which every transaction is recorded in each account because of the Convenience.

Let me give another example. Does the company's management department want to know about the purchase details in the company? Now the accountants have to send those details to the management department.

Perhaps if the accounting department does not maintain the purchase book it will have to search for hundreds of transactions and collect the purchase details so that the company can easily send the purchase details to the management department if the purchase account is maintained.
