A bill of exchange can be either bills receivable or bills payable. When a drawee accepts a bill and sends it back to the drawer, it becomes a bills receivable to the drawer as money is receivable on the bill. Therefore, it becomes an asset to him. On the other hand, it becomes a bills payable to the drawee if money is payable by him on the bill, in which case it is a liability for him.

Bills Payable : Bills payable can be the same as accounts payable, which are usually comprised of invoices from suppliers that are received and recorded by a business within the current liabilities section of the balance sheet. These liabilities may be recorded as accrued liabilities, if a liability is present as of the end of a reporting period, but no invoice from a supplier has yet been received

Bills Receivable : Bills receivable is a bill of exchange on which payment is expected to be received at a later date. Bill receivables are those bills whose amount will be received on due date from debtor or the person whose name in it as drawee.
