A basic schedule of accounts receivable consists of at least three columns. These columns include the name of the account or customer with an outstanding balance, the balance total and the current balance or amount the customer still owes.
The schedule of accounts receivable is a report that lists all amounts owed by customers. The report lists each outstanding invoice as of the report date, aggregated by customer.

The steps in the accounting cycle are identifying transactions, recording transactions in a journal, posting the transactions, preparing the unadjusted trial balance, analyzing the worksheet, adjusting journal entry discrepancies, preparing a financial statement, and closing the books.
Accounts receivable are recorded on a company's balance sheet. Because they represent funds owed to the company (and that are likely to be received), they are booked as an asset.
Average accounts receivable is calculated as the sum of starting and ending receivables over a set period of time (generally monthly, quarterly or annually), divided by two.
Assignment of receivables would mean sale of the lease rentals, not the asset. In that case, the leased asset still remains the property of the assignor – that is, the assignor has retained the residual interest in the asset. However, it would be different if the lessor sells the asset that has been leased out.
For example, if A contracts with B to teach B guitar for $50, A can assign this contract to C. That is, this assignment is both: (1) an assignment of A's rights under the contract to the $50; and (2) a delegation of A's duty to teach guitar to C.
Assignment in the context of a receivable means the transfer of rights related to it to another person or entity. For this purpose, an appropriate contract is usually concluded (although this is not a necessary condition).
To forecast accounts receivable, divide DSO by 365 for a daily collection rate. Multiply this rate by your sales forecast to estimate future accounts receivable. This method helps predict the amount you can expect to receive over a specific period. Regular updates ensure accuracy.
