Accounts receivable
When a customer pays their account, the account receivable department needs to put the amount of the payment into the computer. A receipt should also be sent to the customer.
It means to make a partial of full payment without specifying an specific reason or invoice for the payment.
When the seller is paid, the customer payment is considered complete, and the transaction is finalized. This typically involves the transfer of funds from the customer's account to the seller's account, thereby confirming the exchange of goods or services. The seller may then issue a receipt or confirmation of the sale to the customer. In accounting terms, this payment reflects a reduction in the customer's liabilities and an increase in the seller's revenue.
