Lease Free Period Accounting
We are using Oracle r12 AR Module and have a requirement to account for rent free period in which revenue will be recognized from the beginning of lease period, however, billing / receivables will be recognize after free period.
Business Scenario: (example)

Lease contract period: Jan-2016 to Dec-2016
Rent Free Period: First two months (Jan-2016 to Feb-2016)
Total Lease Amount: 12000
Rent Free amount: 2,000 (first two period)
Average rent per month: 833 (10,000 / 12)
We need to record Rent Free invoice for 2 months (affecting only revenue; no affect on customer statement) & subsequent installment invoices affecting receivables)
