Steps

  1. Navigate to Setup > Revenue > Revenue Recognition Rules and create a rule specifying the recognition method (straight-line, exact days, percent-complete, etc.)
  2. Assign the rule to an item's revenue recognition settings so it is inherited by arrangement lines derived from that item
  3. Define a Revenue Recognition Plan template if using a fixed schedule; set the number of periods and amortization method
  4. For event-based recognition, configure milestones or delivery events that trigger recognition when marked complete
  5. Post recognition entries by running Revenue > Post Revenue Recognition Journals for the target period
  6. Reconcile deferred revenue GL accounts to open arrangement balances using the Deferred Revenue Waterfall report
