(25) Trade and other receivables
Accounting and measurement policies
Trade and other receivables
Trade accounts receivable without significant financing components that are not the subject of a factoring agreement are measured at the amount of the unconditional claim for consideration on initial recognition.
At initial recognition, other receivables are measured at fair value plus the direct transaction costs incurred upon acquisition of the asset.
Trade accounts receivable that are potentially designated to be sold on account of a factoring agreement are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.
The measurement policies applied in determining loss allowances for trade and other receivables are shown in Note (42) Management of financial risks, in the Credit risks section.
Loss allowances and reversals of loss allowances are reported under “Impairment losses and reversals of impairment losses on financial assets (net)” in the Consolidated Income Statement if the asset is used in ordinary activities and hence has an operative nature. If the asset is not used in ordinary activities, it is recognized in financial income or financial expenses.
Further information on the accounting and measurement policies governing financial assets can be found in Note (36) Other financial assets.
