Revenue Recognition Forecast Summary Report

This topic is for the Advanced Revenue Management report. For the classic revenue recognition context, see Revenue Recognition Forecast Summary Report. The topics are similar, but the related reports are different.

The Revenue Recognition Forecast Summary report shows the amounts of deferred and recognized revenue for customer obligations. You can use this report to view the totals for deferred revenue and the periods when revenue recognition is planned. Be sure to recalculate your revenue forecast plans before you run this report. For instructions, see Recalculating Revenue Forecast Plans.

Note:

This report is based on forecast revenue recognition and does not link directly to posted general ledger transactions. Its balances may not match general ledger balances. Other reports are better suited for reconciliation purposes. For a listing of these reports, see Reports for Advanced Revenue Management.

When you disable forecast plan creation, this report no longer includes forecasted lines. The accounting preference Disable Creation of Forecast Plans controls whether revenue recognition forecast plans are created. For information, see Setting Advanced Revenue Management (Essentials) Preferences.
