book entry
Logged transaction note
A book entry is a record made in an accounting ledger or journal, documenting a financial transaction: The accountant made a book entry for the equipment purchase.
In securities, book entry refers to electronic ownership records rather than physical certificates—stocks and bonds exist as book entries in computer systems rather than paper documents.
