An account receivable is the account used by a company to record money owed to them by a customer or other entity that will be paid in a short period of time, less than a year.

For example, a company sales a computer to a customer and the customer is going to pay the company in 30 days, the company records this transaction to accounts receivable and revenue (income).

When a note is received from a customer, it signifies a formal agreement for payment, typically with interest.

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).
