Bills Receivable and Bills Payable
A bill of exchange can be either bills receivable or bills payable. When a drawee accepts a bill and sends it back to the drawer, it becomes a bills receivable to the drawer as money is receivable on the bill. Therefore, it becomes an asset to him. On the other hand, it becomes a bills payable to the drawee if money is payable by him on the bill, in which case it is a liability for him.
The drawer can make use of the bill in one of the following ways:
Retain the bill till the date of maturity and collect the money from the drawee.
Endorse the bill to his creditor.
Discount the bill with the banker.
Send the bill to the banker for collection.
Bills receivable is a bill of exchange on which payment is expected to be received at a later date.
