receivable
의미: Amounts of money owed to a business by its customers or clients; in accounting, 'accounts receivable' represents the outstanding invoices a company expects to collect.
Accounts receivable (AR) is the counterpart to accounts payable: it represents money owed to the business rather than by it. On the balance sheet, receivables appear as a current asset. Managing receivables efficiently — ensuring customers pay on time — is critical to cash flow. 'Aged receivables' or 'receivables ageing' reports break down outstanding invoices by how long they have been due. Companies sometimes sell their receivables to a factor at a discount, a process known as 'factoring.' Common collocations include 'trade receivables,' 'collect receivables,' and 'receivables turnover.'
