Pull revenue recognition data from a subscription billing rev-rec module

Verified steps

  1. Authenticate with the rev-rec module's API (e.g., Chargebee RevRec or Maxio/SaaSOptics) using API key authentication or OAuth 2.0 as documented in the vendor's developer portal.
  2. Query the recognized revenue endpoint (typically a GET request to a /revenue or /recognition-schedule resource) filtered by period, customer, or product to retrieve recognized amounts, deferred balances, and the underlying contract data.
  3. Map the API response fields to your GL chart of accounts: recognized revenue by product line to the appropriate revenue account, deferred revenue to the liability account, and any contract asset or liability adjustments per ASC 606.
  4. Fetch the detailed recognition schedule (amortization waterfall) for each active contract to validate that the automated recognition aligns with the contractual service period and SSP allocation.
  5. On a nightly or period-end schedule, export the recognized and deferred totals and post summary journal entries to the ERP via the ERP's journal entry API, including the rev-rec module's run ID as the memo for traceability.
  6. Run a three-way reconciliation: rev-rec module closing deferred balance vs. GL deferred revenue account balance vs. billing system unbilled/remaining contract value, and alert on variances above materiality.
