how does the Item Fulfillment trigger work for revenue recognition in NetSuite, and do I need to specify Start Date and End Date

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

In NetSuite, the Item Fulfillment trigger for revenue recognition works based on the event specified in the revenue recognition rule associated with the item. If the rule is set to recognize revenue upon fulfillment, then the revenue will be recognized when the item is fulfilled, not when the invoice is created or paid. For your specific case, if you want to recognize revenue when the goods are received by the customers, you could potentially use a custom revenue trigger. This would not necessarily require scripting, but if there's a large volume of transactions, manual creation of the records could become time-consuming and error-prone. As for the Start Date and End Date, these are typically used for revenue recognition over a period of time, such as for subscription-based services or long-term contracts. If your revenue recognition is event-based (like upon fulfillment), then you may not need to specify a Start Date and End Date. However, please note that the exact setup and configuration can depend on your specific business requirements and NetSuite setup. It's always a good idea to test different scenarios in a sandbox environment before implementing changes in your live environment. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
