Accounting for Receivables:

Receivables are defined as the amounts that are due to a firm by its customers and other parties. Receivables include all those assets that arise due to the primary operations of a firm and those representing cash that is to be collected from all external parties who owe money to the firm.

Receivables are broadly categorized into trade-receivables and non-trade receivables. Trade receivables refer to those receivables that occur due to the sale of goods and services in the normal course of business. Non-trade receivables refer to the amounts that occur due to third parties from transactions outside the primary course of business.

Notes receivable:

Notes receivable can be defined as a written promissory note. It can also be referred to as a note required for collection of interest and is collected within a time period of 60 to 90 days. It is a result of sales transactions.

Promissory note gives the holder a stronger legal claim as compared to accounts receivable. It can easily be sold to another party and can be transferred to another party through endorsement, since they are negotiable instruments. A promissory note holder is also liable to earn interest.
