2020 Financial Statements

2. Notes to the IFRS Consolidated Financial Statements / 2.5 Operational Assets and Liabilities Trade receivables arise when the Company provides goods or services directly to a customer with no intention of trading the receivable. Trade receivables include claims arising from revenue recognition that are not yet settled by the debtor. Trade receivables are initially recognised at their transaction prices and are subsequently measured at amortised cost less any allowances for impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement when the receivables are derecognised, impaired or amortised. Impairment and allowances of trade receivables and contract assets are measured at an amount equal to the life-time expected loss as described in “– Note 38: Financial Instruments”.
