Accounts Receivable Overview

An accounts receivable department plays an important role in managing the cash flow of a business:

Processing Invoices - The accounts receivable department is responsible for processing invoices for goods and services sold to customers. Often these invoices are generated from other departments such as Sales.
Processing Payments Received - The accounts receivable department primarily ensures that payments received from customers - which are commonly known as receipts - are applied to invoices, and that cash is registered into the system as soon as possible. Several factors need to be considered in these goals, for example the due date of the invoices and whether a discount can be applied.
Statistical Reporting - The accounts receivable department might want to track payment information about their customers to generate statistical information about payment habits. By compiling this information, businesses can be in a position to provide more proactive customer support and more effectively manage cash flow.
