Follow these steps to calculate accounts receivable: Add up all charges. Find the average. Calculate net credit sales. Divide net credit sales by average accounts receivable. Create an invoice. Send regular statements. Record payments.
Record the total debit amount in the accounts receivable account ing to the invoice. When the customer pays the invoice in full, post a debit in the sales account. This helps balance the double-entry system, which can help you avoid accounting errors and balance books more effectively.
