As an Amazon Vendor, you may or may not be familiar with the term "provision for receivables." This refers to the temporary credit memos or access amounts that Amazon charges on your account. These charges are made because the anticipated costs due to Amazon may exceed the anticipated payments owed to you.
Provision for receivables is a way for Amazon to protect itself from any potential losses that may occur. However, it's important to note that these provisions are temporary and will be reversed once Amazon receives payment from the buyer. In other words, don't worry if you see a provision for receivables on your account. It's just a precautionary measure taken by Amazon to protect itself.
