Accounts Receivable (A/R) Account Register
An accounts receivable register lists posting sales to and payments from customers. Receivables are assets that represent amounts owed by customers for the purchase of inventory, goods, or services. You can use an accounts receivable register to track and manage receivable transactions.

An A/R Register report is available at Reports > Customers/Receivables > A/R Register. See A/R Register Report. This report combines data from all accounts receivable accounts and offers more display options than the register. It is intended to be used for presentation rather than for managing and editing transactions.
