What is the difference between accounts receivable and sales receipts?

When you create an invoice for a sale - you expect to get paid later - it goes into Accounts Receivable.

When you are entering the sale & receipt of money at the same time, you use a Sales Receipt.  

I hope this is helpful.

Michelle, I have observed that difference, I am wondering in terms of quickbooks reporting?
