Subscription billing : automate revenue deferral from sales order

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 596

Hi guys,

For the new feature of Subscription billing, where in Sales Order we create deferral revenue by clicking Deferrals button. If I want to make this to be automatic without user action, what would be the best solution ?

Is calling the pop up menu "Transaction deferrals" by code the correct way of doing it ?

Thanks

    Hi
     
    I believe that you have setup the "Items deferred by default" on the "Revenue and expense deferrals" setup.
    You can specify Items, Item groups or categories.
    If this is not specified, then you will have enable them manually on the transactions> deferral menu

    Automating the deferral revenue process in the Sales Order by bypassing user action can streamline your workflow and improve efficiency. To achieve this, calling the "Transaction deferrals" popup menu by code could be a viable solution, but it depends on the specific software or platform you're using and its capabilities for automation.
     
    Here's a general approach to automate the deferral revenue process without user action:
    1. Identify Automation Capabilities: Determine if your software or platform provides APIs, scripting capabilities, or automation tools that allow you to programmatically interact with the system. This could involve using APIs to trigger the creation of deferral revenue entries directly from your application code.
    2. Explore API Documentation: If APIs are available, consult the documentation to understand how you can programmatically create deferral revenue entries. Look for methods or endpoints related to deferral revenue or sales order processing.
    3. Write Code for Automation: Develop custom code or scripts that automate the process of creating deferral revenue entries when a sales order is created or updated. This code should interact with the system's APIs to perform the necessary actions automatically.
    4. Trigger Automation: Determine when the automation should be triggered. You may want to trigger it when a sales order is created, when certain conditions are met, or at specific intervals. This could involve setting up event triggers or scheduling automated tasks.
    5. Testing and Validation: Thoroughly test the automation code to ensure it behaves as expected and accurately creates deferral revenue entries. Validate that the automated process complies with your business rules and requirements.
    6. Monitoring and Maintenance: Monitor the automated process to ensure it continues to function properly over time. Make any necessary adjustments or updates as your business requirements evolve or as changes are made to the system.
    7. By automating the deferral revenue process, you can reduce manual effort, minimize errors, and improve the overall efficiency of your sales order workflow. However, it's important to carefully plan and implement automation to ensure it aligns with your business processes and requirements.
