Since most entities want to know daily how much cash they have to work with, they enter cash receipts and cash disbursements into the computer every day. If customers or others owe you money, you want up-to-date information on the status of their accounts. The Accounts Receivable module provides this information. Similarly, the Accounts Payable module provides information on the amounts you owe others. You will use this operating information in addition to the information reported on the monthly balance sheet and income statement.
