Trade rec & Acc. rec. My take is that "trade rec." is the term properly used by, yes, trading companies or manufacturing cos. where it's about tangible products. A/R is rather used in service sector cos. that do not sell tangible products. AT&T sure has "A/R", whereas COMS I'd say would very well qualify as having "trade receivables". In the end it's the same: Selling products on (normally) a short-term credit basis. In Switzerland, the payment periods granted to the buyer who "creates" the A/R very often is 30 days. Thomas
