Contra Entry is passed to:

the effects of any previously made entry in the accounts.

 

Some people say its only associated with cash or bank, I must say they are wrong.

 

In Professional accouting systems and practices, even while using softwares, correction revarsals and cancelations must not be done by edditing, delleting or what else.

Contra enty is a normal General entry, its called contra because it Reverses, Cancels or Corrects the effect.
