Explanation:
Anzahlungsforderungen auf noch nicht erbrachte Leistungen =
Deposits/prepayments/advance payments receivables for services not yet rendered or goods not yet delivered. - The trouble is, again I cannot find exactly your phrase anywhere. The above is pieced together out of several reputable dictionaries and one or two Internet sites, but I cannot guarantee there is not another expression for this.

Explanation:
Putting the word "receivables" at the beginning of your expression could make the following construction even more awkward than it already is. If you start with "receivables", you would have to say: "Receivables arising out of unpaid pre-payments/deposits/advance payments on services/goods not yet rendered/delivered." – Let us assume we are talking about services and want to use the word "deposit". We then have two choices: - 1. – "Receivables arising out of unpaid deposits on services not yet rendered." – or – 2. – "Deposit receivables on services not yet rendered". Number two seems more compact and easier to say.
