There are two main differences that stand out between a Debit Account and a Credit Account, those are;A Debit Account always maintains a Debit Balance, meaning the account increases with a Debit to that account and decreases with a Credit to that account. These are generally Asset Accounts.A Credit Account is just the opposite, A Credit Account maintains a Credit Balance, meaning that the account increases with a Credit and decreases with a Debit, these accounts are usually used for Liabilities and Owners Equity (Stockholders Equity).
You increase an asset accounts with a debit.
Credit Decreases an Asset and Debit decreases Owners Equity.
Cash is "not" a credit in accounting. The cash account is an asset and is a debit balance account. To increase the cash account you debit the account and to decrease it you credit it.Cash = Current Asset = Debit Balance(GAAP)
Inventory is an asset account. They normally have a debit balance.

Assets are a debit account and are increased with a debit. Cash goes up with a debit, Inventory, Accounts Receivable, etc. Any asset account will increase with a Debit.Liabilities increase with a Credit as do Owners Equity.One key note, do not confuse Depreciation with an asset account, it can be easily done as you list depreciation under the assets along with it's corresponding account, depreciation is what you call a Contra-Asset Account.
