daybooks
Daily transaction logs
Daybooks are journals in which daily transactions or events are recorded as they occur.
In bookkeeping, a daybook logs sales, purchases, or cash receipts before entries are transferred to a formal ledger.
More generally, a daybook is any diary or journal of daily activities: She kept a daybook of her travels.
The term suggests chronological record-keeping rather than reflection or analysis.
