Revenue History

The Fixed Amount Revenue History page enables you to view the accounting distributions of the amounts that have been booked for all fixed amount revenue plans for which PeopleSoft Contracts is managing revenue. The amount-based revenue process loads this page with accounting information for the fixed-amount contract lines associated with apportionment, milestone, and percent complete revenue plans.

The data source for the Fixed Amount Revenue History page is the CA_AP_DST, CA_AP_DFR, and CA_AP_UAR tables.

The accounting distributions for fixed-amount revenue plans is real-time information, because all revenue information for these contract lines is stored within PeopleSoft Contracts.

Warning! You should not make any revenue adjustments to the contract lines for fixed-amount revenue plans outside the PeopleSoft Contracts system (for example, in PeopleSoft Billing, Receivables, or General Ledger), as these changes will not flow back into PeopleSoft Contracts.

Processes for Review Revenue - As Incurred Page

For as-incurred revenue plans, revenue amounts come from PeopleSoft Project Costing and may be adjusted in PeopleSoft Billing or PeopleSoft Receivables. Therefore, the information on the Review Revenue - As Incurred page is not in real time. Any changes made in PeopleSoft Billing are first written back to the revenue rows in PeopleSoft Project Costing. These rows are then picked up by PeopleSoft Contracts in the next run of the rate-based revenue process. Adjustments made in PeopleSoft Receivables are sent to PeopleSoft Project Costing, but PeopleSoft Receivables handles all the accounting. This example walks you through the scenario:

  1. In PeopleSoft Contracts, you enter a contract with a rate-based contract line, and you define a rate plan or rate set and project ID for that contract line.

  2. In PeopleSoft Project Costing, rows for that project ID come into the PROJ_RESOURCE table from source systems and are priced.

    As work is performed, the system creates (billable) BIL rows in the PROJ_RESOURCE table. BIL is a PeopleSoft Project Costing analysis type. If the contract Separates As Incurred Billing and Revenue, then rows with analysis type REV will be created in the project costing rate set and they will be used for revenue. If not separated, then BIL rows will be used for both billing and revenue.

  3. When the Contracts to Billing interface is run, PeopleSoft Contracts sends rows to PeopleSoft Billing, and the system creates bill lines on the Billing Worksheet.

  4. When you run the rate-based revenue process (PSA_ACCTGGL), the system selects BIL rows (or REV rows if the contract separates as incurred billing and revenue) with a GL_DISTRIB_STATUS of C(contracts) from the PROJ_RESOURCE table and creates accounting entries. The General Ledger chartfields used on the revenue accounting entries are defined using Accounting Rules.

    See Defining Accounting Rules

    The PSA_ACCTGGL process places these accounting rows in the CA_ACCT_LN_PC table (to be picked up when you run Journal Generator) and in the CA_AP_PC_DST and CA_AP_PC_UAR tables (to be accessed or displayed by the revenue management pages in PeopleSoft Contracts).

  5. In PeopleSoft Billing, the billing administrator adjusts bill lines in the Billing Worksheet and then marks the worksheet for acceptance.

    Once the system accepts the bill, all adjustment rows are written to the PROJ_RES_TMP_BI table. The billing administrator may further adjust the bill before finalization. Upon bill finalization, the additional adjustment rows are written to PROJ_RES_TMP_BI.

  6. The Billing to Project Costing interface process picks up adjustment rows that were written to the PROJ_RES_TMP_BI table, and it places them in the PROJ_RESOURCE table.

    Note: The accounting for the adjustment rows in PROJ_RESOURCE comes from the Accounting Rules page setup for the analysis type of the adjustment row, for example, BAJ. You should use the same accounting in the adjustment accounting rules as you defined for the BIL and BLD analysis types.

  7. When you run the rate-based revenue process (PSA_ACCTGGL), the system picks up adjustment rows from PROJ_RESOURCE with a GL_DISTRIB_STATUS of C and books the revenue adjustment that was initiated from billing.

    Note: If an adjustment is made on that same bill in PeopleSoft Receivables, PeopleSoft Receivables writes adjustment rows to a temporary table that the Receivables to Projects Application Engine process (PC_AR_TO_PC) picks up and places in the PROJ_RESOURCE table. The accounting is handled in PeopleSoft Receivables.

Analysis Types in PeopleSoft Project Costing

The Receivable Adjustment analysis type is specified on the Installation Options - Project Costing page. After you select an analysis type for receivable adjustments, you must then include that analysis type in the Revenue Analysis Group for it to be picked up by the rate-based revenue process.

See Analysis Types Page.

Use the Review Product Sales page (CA_RVW_PRD_SLS_PNL) to review billing and revenue pricing details from contracts across the organization including comparison with the Current Revenue Price for the product as defined in Order Management and the Enterprise Pricer.

This comparison of product prices on historical contract sales to the current revenue price provides users with a basis to change (or retain) the current revenue price for a product. The decision to change or retain a product’s revenue price impacts pricing and revenue allocation on future contracts. This page can be accessed via Related Actions on several pages.

This page can be used to review products sold on a standalone basis, as defined by the Standalone Sale check box on the contract line, and/or it can be used to review sales of products on other contract lines, NOT identified as a standalone sale. See Defining Contract Lines

To assist with the transition of contracts to the new revenue accounting standard, use this page to review the potential impact of new revenue pricing on your existing contract base.

Product Sales Detail — Revenue Impact

The Revenue Impact tab details the potential impact of new revenue pricing (standalone sales pricing) on a existing contract. To begin using the analysis, standalone sales prices for your products should be entered in Order Management and the Enterprise Pricer. The analysis produces a suggested revenue allocation across contract lines using the current standalone sale price as the basis for the allocation much like it would if the contract were created today. In addition, the page compares a new suggested revenue amount to the existing revenue amount on the contract line and displays a suggested adjustment. A portion of this adjustment is identified to prior periods based on the amount of revenue already recognized.

This tab appears only if the Revenue Impact Analysis check box is selected.

Revenue to Date

Displays the revenue recognized to date. This is used in calculating the Percentage of Revenue to Date.

Percent Revenue to Date

Displays the percentage of total revenue recognized to date as Revenue to Date divided by the Net Revenue Amount.

Allocation Percent

For each contract line on the contract, the system calculates the relative percentage of the individual contract line to the total of all contract lines on the contract using the current standalone sales price as a basis.

Suggested Revenue

System calculates suggested revenue by multiplying Total Revenue by the Relative Percentage for the line. In doing so, the system suggests an allocation of revenue to the contract line much as would if the contract were being created today.

Adjustment to Revenue Amount

System calculates difference between the existing current revenue amount on the line and the new suggested revenue amount for the line.

Adjustment to Prior Revenue

The adjustment to prior revenue is calculated by multiplying the Adjustment to Revenue Amount by the Percentage of Revenue to Date. In doing so, the analysis identifies a portion of adjustment to revenue to prior periods. The analysis assumes no change in the timing of revenue recognition.

Use the Load Current Revenue Price page (RUN_CA_LD_CUR_REV) to launch the Load Current Revenue Price process. This process populates the CA_PRDSAL_TBL table with this information and then displayed on the Review Product Sales page. The level of processing (and reporting data) is the contract line. When the load process runs, based on the contract criteria selected, data for a contract/contract line is deleted and replaced with current data. Previous analyses are not stored in the system. The process provides an option to purge data as well. With this option, you can purge entire sets of data from a previous analysis without replacement. You might use this option to purge older contracts that ended long ago. This helps reduce table size improving online processing in the Review Product Sales page. Care should be taken when running the load or purge process with access limited to users with proper knowledge and authority.
