Revenue Recognition by Payment Date
The Revenue Recognition by Payment Date indicates the amount that should be recognized for a certain month starting on the Invoice date or Due Date. Any payments received prior to the invoice (or due date depending on the selection) would not be recognized yet, but are displayed in a separate section titled deferred revenue and shown as amounts that remain to be recognized.
- The payment can be recognized starting on Invoice Date or Invoice Due Date (Choose Recognition Date Option in report filters)
- Prepaid items (Deferred revenue) are now included in the report as amounts remaining to be recognized
- Multiple payments applied to the same invoice are now properly reported without duplication of totals
- Single Month Recognitions are available to be displayed if desired
