Recognizing gross revenue, instead of allocated net revenue
Problem Description
---------------------------------------------------
Subscriptions to RMCS.
- Create a subscription with a couple products.
- Add price adjustments
- Activate the subscription and push data to RMCS
- Revenue contract created with perf obligations
- Revenue allocations calculated
- RMCS books allocated revenue
Requirement:
- Book gross revenue (equal to the billed amount)
- Book the Discount as Contra-Revenue
Example:
The Perf Obligation billed value = 4500
The allocated revenue = 4275
For a one-time revenue rec,
Revenue = -4500
Contra-Revenue = 225
For a Over period rev rec (5 periods)
Revenue rec each period = -900
Contra-Rev each period = 45
How can the above be achieved?
