Deferral Schedule

Releases the deferral schedule. Once the schedule is released, the recognition transactions are ready to be posted when it comes due. In the released schedule, the summary information and the component details (in the Components table) cannot be edited. You can still edit the details of the generated transactions in the Transactions table (those transactions that are not posted yet).

This button appears on the form for manually created deferral schedules only.

Updates the reallocation pool on the Reallocation Pool tab and the component data on the Details tab by using the recent data from the Sales Prices (AR202000) form and the data from the invoice lines. If the deferral schedule was overridden, the system displays a confirmation message before recalculation.

The unique number of the schedule, which is automatically generated by the system by the numbering sequence that is specified in the Deferred Schedule Numbering Sequence box on the Deferred Revenue Preferences (DR101000) form. For a new schedule, the <NEW> string is displayed, indicating that a new number will be generated. Select a schedule to view information about it.

The list of values may be limited based on the role or roles assigned to the user account to which you are signed in if the Customer and Vendor Visibility Restriction feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form, and based on the visibility of the business account. If the feature is enabled, the Restrict Visibility To box appears on the Financial tab of the Customers (AR303000) and Vendors (AP303000) forms. You can select a schedule of a customer or vendor, if one of the following is true:

• The Restrict Visibility To box is empty for the customer or vendor—that is, the customer's or vendor’s visibility is not restricted.
• A branch, company, or company group is specified in the Restrict Visibility To box for the customer or vendor, and your user account is assigned to the role specified in the Access Role box of the Configuration Settings section of one of the following: the Branch Details tab of the Branches (CS102000) form for the branch, or the Company Details tab of the Companies (CS101500) form for the company or a company within the company group.

The status of the schedule.

The system automatically assigns the following statuses:

• Open: The deferral schedule has at least one transaction with the Open status.
• Closed: All the transactions for the deferral schedule have been posted.
• Draft: The deferral schedule has not been released.

The date that determines the period when the first recognition transaction should be recognized and posted. In the deferral schedules generated automatically for documents with the deferral codes specified, this is the document date specified by the system by default. In the custom deferral schedules, you define this date manually.

You can enter only a date that corresponds to a financial period that has been generated on the Master Financial Calendar (GL201000) form. If the date that you enter belongs to a financial period that has not yet been generated in the system—for example, for a date in the distant future or past—the system will display an error message, and you will not be able to save the document.
