Accounts Receivable is an account that holds what a person or company owes your business. For example you sold a computer to a customer on credit, this credit is listed in an Accounts Receivable and is an asset.Asset accounts maintain a Debit Balance, meaning that a debit to the account will increase the account (in other words increase the amount the customer owes the company).A credit to the account will decrease the balance of that account (in other words, it records payment or credit to that customers account and decreases the amount the customer owes the company).
Expense accounts should always be debit balances. The only exception is when you are recording discounts received on purchases in a separate account than the COGS account used for purchases. Discounts should be shown as a COGS account so that it is netted against purchases, and will have a credit balance. But even in this case, the total of all COGS accounts should be a debit balance.

Generally a debit is cash coming in, while credit is cash going out. As products are sold, you need to debit the Revenue account while simultaneously crediting the Inventory account. Meanwhile, if you need to borrow against your stake in the company in order to restore cash reserves you would credit your Owner's Equity account and debit the account the money is going towards- usually Checking or an account simply called Cash.In accounting, debits and credits need to balance each other out since every transaction and transfer affects at least two accounts. If they are unbalanced, you might not have an accurate view of how your business is doing.
