what is the issue when the deferred revenue reclassification detail report does not match the deferred revenue amounts on the revenue arrangement

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

The issue when the deferred revenue reclassification detail report does not match the deferred revenue amounts on the revenue arrangement could be due to several reasons: 1. Incorrect GL Account Assignment: If certain items have a deferred account assigned, the out-of-the-box reports will pull any transaction that has a GL impact in an account type of deferred. This could lead to discrepancies if the account assignment is not accurate. 2. Reclassification Journals: If reclassification journals are not run regularly (typically monthly after your revenue recognition journals), this could lead to a disbalance between deferred revenue and unbilled AR. Once you post your reclassification journal entry, there should be no unplanned revenue in your report. 3. Transactions from Other Systems: If there are transactions from another system due to acquisitions or other reasons, these might not be handled correctly by the ARM reclassification function. This function can only handle reclassifying legacy sales orders and Revenue Arrangements (RAs), not revenue recorded via regular journal entries. 4. Use of ARM: The Deferred Revenue Waterfall report, which could help reconcile these amounts, is only available if you are using Advanced Revenue Management (ARM). If you're not using ARM, you might need to migrate to it, which could be a complex process. To resolve these issues, you might need to customize the report to only look or Group By specific Deferred Accounts, run reclassification journals regularly, and consider migrating to ARM if you're not already using it. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
