Answer / jason
Errors are the only reason this account would show a credit
balance. Some folks above noted they record advanced
payments as credits to AR. THIS IS NOT GAAP. You record
advance payments as a seperate account called unearned
revenue that is displayed as a liability on the balance
sheet, not a credit balance in the assets section.

Answer / nivedita paunikar
Accounts Receivable is the payment to be received from the
party / customer. When we receive any advance payment from
the party / customer for the services provided it shows
Credit Balance.
So. Accounts Receivable can have a credit balance only
when Advance payment is received from the party / customer.
