Modify Revenue Deferral Schedule

Policy revenue can be recognized at the later of the policy effective date or generate invoice date (i.e., bill date).

Service fee revenue can be recognized only when the service is rendered. An organization may provide services where the revenue cannot be recognized up front (e.g., service fees, consulting fees, etc.). These service fees need a revenue schedule based on when the service has been provided.

The Modify Revenue Deferral Schedule action allows you to move the service fee revenue from deferred income to current by modifying the accounting month to move the item(s) forward (i.e., mature the item). Use this when services were rendered prior to or later than what was expected.

5. The Results list displays all of the accounts that match the criteria you entered. Click on a column heading to sort the list by that category. For example, click the Last Name column heading to sort by last name in ascending order. To sort in descending order, click the Last Name column heading again.
6. Highlight the desired item in the Results list.
7. Click Transactions on the navigation panel or Areas > Transactions on the menubar.
The Transactions list initially loads blank. Enter your desired search criteria to populate the list for the selected account.

Note: The list can display a maximum of 500 transactions.
To change the way transactions display when you populate the list, click the word Transactions in the view filter.

A list of choices displays.
- Balance Forward: Displays one row per item
- Open Item: Displays the original rows as well as any credits/debits or other charges applied to those items
- By Bill #: Displays the transactions for each invoice rolled up into a single detail line.
Click on the appropriate selection.

Use the search bar to display transactions that meet specific criteria. Apply a single filter (using the search fields) or multiple filters (using the Edit Filter button ) to narrow the list of transactions.
Selecting multiple criteria performs an "and" search (for example, transactions in a specific Accounting Month with a specific Bill Mode).
To clear the currently applied filter (for the current session only) and start over, click the Clear Filter link label. The search bar displays in blue when filters are applied and in gray when filters are cleared.
To save your currently applied filters as a default for all accounts of the same entity type, create Filter Defaults. Your currently applied filters are saved as a default for the selected account automatically. Filter defaults are unavailable on Transactions lists opened from the Access menu, as Access > Transactions already provides a filtered view.

Your filter defaults are unique to your user code and will not affect other users’ saved defaults.
You can change the columns that display in the list if you wish.
1. Click the Select Columns link label on the right side of the header bar. The Select Columns window displays.
2. Select the checkbox next to each column that should be included in the list.
  Deselect the checkbox next to each column that should be removed from the list.
3. Columns will display in the order in which they are listed. To move a column up or down in the list, click the column and then click the up arrow or down arrow to change its position.
4. Click OK or press [Enter] to save your changes.
Click Cancel to close the window without saving your changes.
