What is the difference between cash Disbursement Journal and Purchase Journal?

Many Thanks for inviting me to answer the question:

Cash Disbursement Journal

The cash disbursements journal, also known as the cash payments journal, is an accounting form used to record all cash outflows - purchases made in cash or cash disbursements. Examples are accounts payable, materials payable, and operating expenses among other cash purchases. Examples of other cash disbursements is a deposit to the petty cash fund.

Purchase Journal:

When a businessman places an order for goods that he needs, the seller of the goods makes out an invoice. The top copy (first copy) of this invoice is received by the purchaser and is recorded in the purchases journal. There may be several of these invoices arriving every day, possibly as many hundred. They will all be the top copies of other selling firm's invoices and the purchase journal will be written on the basis of these invoices.
