The accounts receivable processes are a function of the sales side of a business entity. This applies to both manufacturing / trading and service organizations as well.

This is basic to the fundamentals of business and economy. On the customer / client side, as the products / services get ready for delivery to the customer / client, a sale of these will emanate. As a process it could be as simple as a direct sale to a customer or may comprise of a number of pieces, which form the width of the accounts receivable function.
