That depends on the type of receivable you are debiting. Debiting a receivable means that a person/company now owes you money for either a service rendered or some other type of purchase, perhaps even another reason. Credits for a sale of products and/or services generally are credited to such accounts as Sales,Income, Revenue.
However, if your company is disposing of a Fixed Asset and has sold this asset to another on account, then you will use such accounts as Gain or Loss on Disposal of Fixed Assets.
