Defer revenue from one G/L account to another

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 151

Hi,

I am struggling with finding a good solution to a problem.

For sales I have a scenario where I want to defer revenue and "post it back into another account".

A sales G/L account -> Deferral account -> Another sales G/L account called "Deferred sales revenue"

I hope that makes sense.

The only solution I can think of is creating a lot of deferral templates and make it work somehow with automatic account posting groups.

Thanks! :)

    Out of the box there are no other automatic way than using the deferral codes.

    If you would think about customizing the function there are several options about how to handle it.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the answer.

    Do you have any resource to point me towards just to get started?

    I will take this to a developer and get some technical help.

    Thanks for confirming that this is not easily done :)

    I think what i would do is to define a new deferral code table with the setup needed to meet the business requirements.

    Then i would add a related field on the sales header to assign the deferral code to the sales headers.

    I then would post the sales orders through the standard posting routine.

    I would have done the deferral posting in a separate batch job that i would run regularly through the job queues.

    So that would be my brief specification for this.  Let me know if you need more assistance around some actual code.
