Receivables and other assets are subclassified into “Trade Receivables” and “Other Receivables and Other Assets.”
First-time recognition of trade receivables is at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs. Measurement in subsequent periods is at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method due to the loans and receivables measurement category.
Other receivables and other assets comprise both non-financial assets and financial assets including derivative financial instruments. With the exception of derivative financial instruments, financial assets are measured at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs at first-time recognition. They are assigned to the “loans and receivables” category under IAS 39, and are therefore measured at amortized cost in subsequent periods. Non-financial assets are measured in line with the respective applicable standard.
