    When a purchase of a laptop for office use is wrongly debited to the Purchase Account, it is an error of principle. This type of error occurs when a transaction is recorded in the correct class of accounts but under the wrong category within that class. In this case, the error involves a violation of the accounting principle or concept because an expense (office use) has been incorrectly recorded as a purchase.
