Accounts Receivable is the money owed by the customers for goods or services bought on credit. A receivable account can be created by someone who sells goods or services and extends a line of credit to its customers.

Similarly Accounts payable is the obligation of a business that is originated because of purchases made on credit (e.g. for raw material, finished goods etc.), the money is yet to be paid for these transactions.
