      Accounts receivable, or customer receivables, represent money a company expects from clients after it delivers goods, performs services or does anything else in between that a contract called for. Receivables arise only out of credit transactions because cash-on-delivery deals typically call for immediate remittances or advance payments. If a customer doesn't pay on time, the client's receivable becomes bad debt and ultimately goes into the "accounts to write off" category if corporate credit managers deem the money noncollectable.
