    hi

     it is possible to partially recognize revenue from a sales invoice in Business Central using deferral templates. First, create a deferral template and define the calculation method and periods. Then, assign the deferral template to the sales line. When you post the invoice, Business Central will automatically defer the revenue according to the template. For example, for an invoice of 50,000 with 5,000 deferred revenue and 45,000 recognized revenue, the accounting entries will be: Debit: Accounts Receivable 50,000, Credit: Deferred Revenue 5,000, Credit: Revenue 45,000.

    Hello,
     
    Unfortunately, 'Allocation Account' is not one of the options in the Job Planning Lines.
    You will have to customize this.

    Hello,
     
    Understood, the deferral function will immediately post the 'deferred' amount on the subsequent dates based on the schedule.
     
    If you are okay with manual reversal then I suggest to look into the Allocation Account.
     
    Below is my testing:
    * Assuming it is always 10% of the total sales.
     
    * Use 'Allocation Account' type
     
    * System will post accordingly to the ratio

    Hi Yi Yong 
     
    Here in the screen shot attached. 
     
    When I Post sale invoice with this deferral code. It deferred the revenue for 5,000 but System nullified the Deferred Revenue Account 2318 by putting the reversal entry in the deferring date. I don't want to nullify the deferral account; the value should retain in the accounts and in future I should manually put the reversal of it.
