Hello, I have a question. Has anyone here come up with a way to prevent revenue elements from being created from an approved sales order? We have situations at the end of each quarter where we are ready to bill but we are not ready for the revenue arrangement to be generated

it is all in the revenue items set up, not in “preventing rev elements from being created”. If you choose fulfillment as a rev trigger you can recognize revenue at the point you need (and not on rev arr creation)

Another option would be to manually create Arrangements
and decide when you want to generate, but for a given day all of them would get generated

Hi Karina, would you suggest the similar if you wanted to recognise revenue on some revenue element lines and not the other? I'm thinking in terms of pass through charges that we wouldn't want to recognise revenue on.

@ryanhowson - if you have pass through revenue you can set up your items for resale in the manner you desire in terms of income and expense account setting; then you would recognize both revenue and expense on these pass through items. it really depends how you want it to be presented on the financials; as far as rev rec goes you can use fulfillment trigger to recognize your pass through revenue whenever your obligations are completed (such as training, consulting, et. that measures in hours)
@Hemang - while it is technically correct, this is not a great option, especially considering there are different items set up with different triggers; fulfillment trigger is not the most common one. NOT best practices for sure, and auditors will not be happy at all to see revenue is manually manipulated

Thanks Karina!
