Recognition Rules
Revenue Schedules recognition rules play a pivotal role in determining when and how much revenue should be recognized over time. They are typically associated with a sales transaction and driven by an underlying revenue recognition template.
The initiation point of a Revenue Schedule Recognition Rule can vary depending on the type of sales transaction, along with the pre-configured or enabled features and preferences within the system. For instance, the schedule rule can be generated when a transaction is saved, approved, or billed.
Methods for recognizing revenue include:
