Hi, my company is a SaaS and our Revenue Recognition Forecast Summary does not tie to the Balance Sheet. We are not using ARM and from this article we realize that the Revenue Recognition Forecast Summary is not guaranteed to tie to the BS. We are trying to find a report that shows the revenue that will be recognized per month a "waterfall" of sorts and that ties to the GL. I am having no luck in finding a report for them to use, or a report to modify to show per period balances. Any help would be great.

how do you record your ratable rev rec without ARM? do you use 12 line items with different start/end dates in your SOs?

Poor Pete Carrol. Clearly did not want to step down as head coach at all.

nope, not the answer. How do you manage to recognize just 1/12 of your annual license each period?

From my understanding it is from the rev rec schedules. One image is for our 2024 invoice, and the other is from our 2023 invoice.

thats what I thought (see above). there is no way to run a forecast for this set up. Well, maybe a script

Thank you for the help as always! So the report Revenue Recognition Forecast Summary does get close to the number in our deferred revenue GL and in the same breath the Deferred Revenue by Customer report. Do you know why it might be so close to the GL, but doesn't tie? I told our accounting team that my first place to look were manual JE created and posted to our deferred revenue account, but wouldn't mind the system difference between the two reports/gl.

frankly I have never used Rev Forecast without ARM so I do not know exactly what might that be. but I have a inkling it is has to do with manual journals which are not part of the forecast report

Thank you. I will let my accounting team know. I haven't found anything else that has been super helpful to get a deferred revenue waterfall that isn't coming from the ARM bundle.

well, maybe a script that would take a total amount and break it into assigned number of periods…. But not natively.
