We are a real estate company managing rental contracts in Dynamics 365 Business Central SaaS.
From a system and accounting perspective, what is the recommended architecture / best practice in Business Central for handling rent invoicing that should be registered but not posted?
Specifically, we need to:
capture future rent charges (e.g., monthly rent or quarterly), Keep them unposted until the billing period is confirmed, Handle contract changes such as early termination or rent increases/decreases
the current Deferral functionality on Sales Documents requires posting the invoice before revenue can be deferred and therefore does not support a scenario where customer invoices must remain unposted until the next occurrence.
Has anyone implemented a standard or recommended workaround, or patterns (e.g., contract-based invoicing, recurring journals, or custom extensions) to support this requirement?
Additionally, is there any information available on whether unposted customer invoice deferral / contract-based revenue recognition is planned on the Business Central roadmap, and if so, in which release wave?
Thanks,
Suha
