Hi - we were just acquired this morning and are having to create a Pre & Post acquisition period. We had consultants tell us that we couldn't really "refresh" our revenue arrangements to include the new posting period unless the system REQUIRED us to recalculate the revenue (they suggested we modify dates or values). We are hoping to just be able to run rev rec and post 20 days to the "Pre" period and 11 days to the "post" period but it doesn't work that way unless we've recalculated the revenue arrangement. Any thoughts on how we can get the revenue arrangement to update to include the new period without having to modify data on the RAR?

Can't you just create manual journals in the pre period then auto-reverse it in the post period, so you can process the revenue arrangements normally?

And spend hours doing the calculation and increase risk that a formula is wrong? No thanks. We did find a way to write a script to get them all updated.

I thought it's a one-time transition event. But good for you.
