Accounts receivable is money that was owed to you being paid/
A 'bad debt'
The main difference is: An account receivable is an account that is expected to be paid off in one year or less making it a current asset. A note receivable is generally used for any account that will be paid off in a note form (usually monthly) and is expected to take more than one year (or accounting cycle) to be fully paid making it a long-term asset or "fixed" asset. (GAAP)
A service revenue that is billed but not paid is an account receivable. Account receivables are assets and therefore you would "debit" the account.
Paid accounts receivable appears on a balance sheet, to the extent that the amounts paid are deducted from the accounts receivables balance and added to the bank account. Therefore, the effect on the balance sheet would be as follows: decrease in asset- accounts receivables increase in asset- Cash
Yes, which means I am going to have to go back and change some of my answers. Accounts Payable are accounts that will be paid in one year OR LESS! This has obviously been changed, as it used to be considered "current" if it was paid in 6 Months or LESS. Any Account Payable or Account Receivable (Account Receivable being an Asset) that will be fully paid in 1 year or "less" I do stress less, is considered a "current liability" or "current asset", anything over that one year mark, even if it's 13 months, is considered "long-term".
