I'm not exactly sure of the question, but I'm going to assume you mean what is the difference in the balances of sales and account receivable.
First lets look at sales, sales (aka revenue) is what a company makes from providing a good or service. Say you sale $1,000 in watches and the buyer wants to put $500 of that on account (credit) for you that is an account receivable. The difference ($500) is recorded as "cash".
If however your question is referring to the accounts themselves, there is no "term" to refer to the difference as the accounts are entirely different themselves and on opposite ends of the accounting equation. Sales (aka revenue) is an Equity account and maintains a credit balance, while accounts receivable is an asset account and maintains a debit balance.
Basic transactions for sales and accounts receivable are: You sold $1,000 in watches, the buy pays $500 in cash and places the remaining $500 on credit the journal entry for this transaction is as follows:
Cash (debit) $500
Account Receivable (debit) $500
Sales (credit) $1,000
