Question
What information is shown in Revenue Recognition Report?
Asnwer
The report shows the amount of pre-pays for both provided and not yet provided services for the period starting from Starting Month (including the starting month as well). Paid amounts are splitted by months, according to pre-paid subscription period.
Invoices, credit memos, and debit memos are included into the report. Both setup fee and renewal fee are accounted.
Example of Revenue Recognition Report Generation:
For example, a customer subscribed for 1 year in August 2009 and pre-paid $120 for 1 year. We select current month (i.e. September 2009) as starting month for the report. Subscription fee is splitted by 12 months as $10 per month. The report will include the amount equal to the remaining part of subscription fee starting from September, $110.
Starting Month
The field displays starting month of the report in the format MM/YY, where MM is number of starting month, and YY are last two digits of year.
Append subscription fee
Check the box to include subscription fee into the report. If the option enabled, PBA detects migrated subscription and includes information on it into the report. In this case subscription is considered to be a migrated one if there are no invoices generated for it.
Till date
Current parameter is only relevant when Append subscription fee is checked; specify the date of migration here. BA will include the information on the subscription that was migrated (was invoiced) before the date specified in the Till date field. Click calendar icon next to this field and select the date.
