Any sales on account (aka credit sales) will increase accounts receivable by the same amount. The journal entry for this would be: Account Receivable (debit) Sales (revenue) (credit)
Bills receivable is a real account. When acceptance is received, Bills receivable account is debited (debit what comes in). When the bill is discounted or returned to acceptor at the time of maturity, Bills receivable account is credited (credit what goes out).
Yes bill receivable is personal nature of account and debit increases it while credit reduces it.
When you accrue income, the debit is to a receivable account such as Accounts Receivable and the credit goes to the appropriate income account, such as Sales.
If an account has a credit balance the customer must have overpaid on their account or a credit was issued by the company and posted to the customers account, resulting in a credit or negative balance.

[Debit] Accounts Receivable xxxx [Credit] Sales account xxxx
Accounts receivable has a debt balance as normal accounting balance because it is an asset of company.
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).
why do you debit cash account and credit receivables for cash in transit
Accounts Receivable is an asset since it is a resource controlled by the entity as a result of past transaction with the future economic benefit to flow to the entity.Sale of goods and services is a revenue and not accounts receivable.
