Revenue Recognition contracts

The revenue contracts feature facilitates the representation of enterprise sales-led contracts in Revenue Recognition. It allows you to customize revenue schedules using custom performance obligations that are decoupled from billing periods. Additionally, you can track key metrics at a contract level and improve your financial insights.

Customize revenue schedules

Revenue contracts enables the creation of custom contract items that dictate how revenue is recognized instead of invoice line items. It allows you to attach billing models (for example, invoices, subscriptions, payments) to the contract used as payment collection containers.

Example

Given a 2-year B2B contract with monthly billing, you can create a contract item for the 2-year period:

You can then attach a transaction/billing model to the contract to be used for payment allocation:

Given this contract setup, Revenue Recognition can augment reports by incorporating non-GAAP accounts like contract assets and deferred revenue. In turn, this enables us to elevate our metrics as the contract undergoes monthly billing.

Track contract-level metrics

When you open up a revenue contract in Revenue Recognition, you can track high-level metrics across a group of contract items and transactions such as:

• Total contract value
• Annual contract value
• Billing to date
• Revenue to date
• Future schedule billings
• Unbilled deferred revenue
