‘Accounts Receivable’ is the term used to describe the list of people, firms and other entities that owe you money for services rendered and products provided. A service becomes a ‘receivable’ once it has been invoiced or, in other words, once the person or entity who owes you the money is sent a piece of paper or an electronic file outlining the details – basically being notified that they owe the funds.

 

Items that have not yet appeared on an invoice/electronic file are not deemed to be Accounts Receivable since the paying parties don’t yet know exactly what is owed.
