Why would rev arrangement differ from items when entering sales order?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

The Revenue Arrangement (RA) can differ from the items when entering a sales order due to several reasons: 1. Different Revenue Recognition Rules: The revenue recognition rules applied to the items in the sales order can be different from the rules applied to the Revenue Arrangement. For example, the revenue from the first invoice might be recognized based on Item Fulfillment, while the revenue from the second invoice is recognized as billed. This can lead to differences in the Revenue Arrangement and the items in the sales order. 2. Billing Schedules: If billing schedules are used, the ordered quantity and the invoiced quantity can differ. For example, if the ordered quantity is 1 for all line items, and the first invoice is for 20%, then the invoiced quantity will be 0.2 for all of the lines on the invoice. This can also lead to differences in the Revenue Arrangement and the items in the sales order. 3. Multiple Lines in Sales Order: There can be multiple lines in the Sales Order, each with different items and quantities. This can lead to a complex Revenue Arrangement that differs from the individual items in the sales order. 4. Custom Revenue Recognition Event Type: If a custom revenue recognition event type is used, it can lead to a Revenue Arrangement that differs from the items in the sales order. This is because the custom event type can have its own rules and logic for revenue recognition. 5. Subscription Pricing: If the sales order includes a subscription that has different pricing for different years (e.g., $12,000 for the first year and $15,000 for the second year), the Revenue Arrangement will need to account for this pricing structure, which can lead to differences with the items in the sales order. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
