When a seller receives payment from an account customer, an asset account (Cash) is increased and another asset account (Receivable) is decreased, resulting in no effect on the accounting equation.

The first step in the recording process is basic analysis.
When services are performed on account, assets are increased, and owner's equity is increased.
