Accounts payable and accounts receivable are the same for any business, whether service, merchandising, or even medical billing. An account payable is any account that the company or business owes to another entity. It is a liability account and goes under liabilities until the balance is paid in full. An account receivable is just the opposite. Is the account balance of what another entity owes you. Account receivable is an asset account and goes under assets on the balance sheet. Both accounts receivable and accounts payable can be listed as either current or non-current, depending on the length of time required to satisfy the debt.

Accounts Receivable means that people owes you money, when you sell products or service and they have to pay in 30 days, 45 days, etc., So for example: If we sell $500 in goods or service and in the transition of 30 days, our A/R equals to $500. But if they pay in cash, our accounts receivable is $0.To get A/R Net you need to know your provision for loan losses. When the client don't pay on the 30 days terms (it can be 45 days, etc), you write off for your provision for loan losses, this means that this amount is lost, because the customer fail to pay the amount in the 30 daysNow, A/R Net simply you can get it like this(A/R) - (Provision for loan losses) = A/R Net
Does your average collection period go up or down when accounts receivable stays the same and credit sales go up?
The aging schedule can be used to identify the customers that are extending beyond your collection terms. If the bulk of the overdue amount in receivables is attributable to one customer, then steps can be taken to see that this customer’s account is collected promptly. If overdue amounts stem from a number of customers, your business needs to tighten its credit policy toward new and existing customers.The A/R Aging Schedule also identifies any recent changes in the accounts making up your total accounts receivable balance. If the makeup of your accounts receivable changes (compared to the previous month) you should be able to spot the change instantly.
