The Correct Mapping

Item	Item journal
Bank	Bank account reconciliation
Customer	General journal

Why Each Placement is Correct

1. Item → Item journal

The Item journal is the dedicated tool for posting inventory-related transactions, including opening quantities and values for items. It posts directly to item ledger entries and the associated G/L accounts simultaneously. Using anything else (like the general journal) would not correctly update inventory quantity and valuation records - it would only affect G/L, leaving the item ledger out of sync.

2. Bank → Bank account reconciliation

Bank account reconciliation is used to establish opening bank balances by matching an initial statement balance against the bank ledger. This correctly initializes the bank account balance and ties it to the bank ledger entries. The general journal can post to bank accounts, but Bank account reconciliation is the proper tool specifically designed for this purpose in BC, especially when aligning with a real bank statement at go-live.

3. Customer → General journal

Customer opening balances are posted via the General journal using the Customer account type. This creates the initial open receivable entries in the customer ledger. There is no dedicated "Customer journal" in BC - the general journal serves as the entry point for AR/AP opening balances, posting to both the customer sub-ledger and the corresponding G/L receivables account.

Common Mistakes & Misconceptions

Using General journal for Items: A very common mistake. The general journal does not update item ledger quantities - you must use the Item journal for inventory opening balances.
Using General journal for Bank: Technically possible but incorrect for this scenario. The Bank account reconciliation is the expected/recommended tool and is the answer BC certification exams look for.
Confusing Customer with Bank: Both are financial balances, but they use different tools. Bank gets reconciliation; Customer gets the general journal.
