Arabic term or phrase: ارصدة مدينة
I kow that "hisaab madeen" is an account receivable, but "arsidat madeena" must be "debit balances", since "madeen" by itself is a debit, right? Anyway, they talk about "suppliers, arsidat madeena", which should be debit balance, no?

I have the feeling they mean "accounts payable" here. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Thanks for confirming, although later on it seemed that they were using the term as accounts receivable rather than accounts payable... But by itself, without further context, it may as well be "debit balance". Thanks.
