Abstract :

Accounts receivable is an accounting transaction which deals with the billing of customer who owes money to a person, company or organization for goods and services that has been provided to the customers. In most business entities this is typically done by generating an invoice and mailing or electronically delivering it to the customer, who in turn must pay it within an established timeframe called credit or payment terms. The term receivable management is defined as “debt owed to the firm by customer arising from the sale of goods/ services in the ordinary course of business.” The receivable represents an important component of the current assets of the firm. Receivables may be known as accounts receivables, trade creditors or customer receivable. When a firm its products / services and does not receive cash for it immediately, the firm has said to be granted trade credit to the customers. Trade credit thus creates receivable / book debts, which the firm is expected to collect in near future. Accounts receivable are thus amounts due from customers, which bear no interest in essence, a company is providing no cost financing to the customer to encourage the purchase of the company’s product/services.
