Question relating to revenue recognition; Currently opportunity line values are created in SFDC and sync across to NetSuite, and are the same for invoice and rev rec. What Finance would like to do is have a second set of values that reflect the correct revenue allocation for the product lines, and it would be these that would be used for rev rec. So we'd have two sets of values syncing from SFDC, one used for the contract document and invoice, and one set specifically used for rev rec. Is it possible to do this, and is it just a question of repointing ARM to use a different set of fields for rev rec?

@James Baker - you need to create FV formulas using the field you need for your rev rec calcs.

It’s interesting that your rev rec values are also sourced from SFDC? Usually, only sales prices are sourced from SFDC and the values for rev rec will be off of the fair values stored in NetSuite. But either way, this is very possible.

I'm not sure if it's possible, but I'm pretty sure it's not advisable. I can see all sorts of reporting messes developing from this type of setup. To @Karina's point, you need to set up Fair Value formulas properly in NetSuite (assuming you're using Advanced Revenue Management) so when the docs come into the system, the Revenue Arrangement is created for the correct revenue allocation amounts. Then maybe you can sync that back to SFDC. Not trying to be unhelpful, but the complexity of Rev Rec setup goes way beyond what can reasonably be discussed here. I'd recommend finding a consultant who knows ARM.
