Overview

The Post Earned Revenue (Revenue Recognition) utility is used to recognize Unbilled Revenue and WIP on the General Ledger.


 

Key Concepts

Revenue Recognition is activated at Global Settings>Revenue Recognition by selecting "Use Revenue Recognition"
When the utility is run, an entry is made to the General Journal posting revenue against Unbilled Revenue and WIP accounts. More on the General Journal
The entry is recorded to the appropriate WBS level and Expense Code, if any. These entries are marked as coming from revenue recognition. More on Expense Codes
This utility can be run at any interval (daily, monthly, hourly).
There is an option in Global Settings to delete all revenue recognition entries in the current period prior to posting. This is useful if a user wants to post revenue on a daily basis but does not want a cluttered ledger. This is located at Global Settings>Revenue Recognition by selecting "Post Single Journal Entry Per Period"
A user can exclude projects from participating in revenue recognition by flagging them in the project setup profit center section. More on Project Setup
A user can also make revenue adjustments in the General Journal and flag them to be excluded from revenue calculations by selecting "Ignore In Rev. Rec.". More on the General Journal Header
