When a note is received from a customer, it signifies a formal agreement for payment, typically with interest. The accounting entry involves debiting Accounts Receivable to decrease it, as the amount owed by the customer is now represented by the note. Simultaneously, Notes Receivable is credited to recognize the new asset created by the received note. This reflects the transfer from a more general account (Accounts Receivable) to a more specific one (Notes Receivable).
