What are other receivables?
Other receivables refer to the receivables and temporary payments arising from non business activities other than the sale of goods, materials and the provision of labor services, including various claims, fines, deposits, reserve funds and various advances receivable from employees. An enterprise should set up an "Other Receivables" account. Its debit reflects the various amounts receivable by the enterprise, and its credit reflects the amount received by the enterprise. The ending balance in the debit represents the amount receivable but not received. Under this general ledger account, a subsidiary account should also be set up for detailed accounting.
