<content>
<p>When you go through Money's Setup Assistant or create your first invoice, Money automatically creates an asset account called accounts receivable to track the amounts your customers owe you for goods or services sold. In this account, you can review invoices and their status (paid, unpaid, estimated, or void), print an invoice, or record payment on an invoice. </p>
<p>When you create an invoice, accounts receivable is increased by the amount of the invoice; when you record a payment from a customer, accounts receivable is decreased and the payment is deposited into the checking or savings account you designate.</p>
<p>If you use the accrual method of accounting, your accounts receivable account is a current asset in your <glossary>Chart of Accounts</glossary>.</p>
