When do I create revenue contingency assignment rules?

You must create revenue contingency assignment rules if you want to automatically assign contingencies to transactions. For each rule that you define, you specify one or more matching criteria. Whenever the rule criteria match, Receivables assigns the specified contingency to the applicable transaction lines.

There are two cases where you don't need to create revenue contingency assignment rules:

• Revenue policy violations: Receivables automatically assigns the appropriate revenue contingencies to transactions whenever any revenue policy is violated.

• Deferred revenue scheduling rules: Transactions assigned a deferred revenue scheduling rule have all revenue deferred until either the related contingency expires or you manually schedule revenue.
