Overview
Compare explained deferred balances with posted OTC general-ledger balances.
Before you begin
Use the correct subsidiary, deferred accounts, currencies, and reporting scope. This register supports finance review of recognition setup and ongoing balances.
Main task
- Open Deferred Revenue Register under Sales & Receipts.
- Review explained balances by deferred account and currency.
- Compare the register’s totals to posted OTC GL and inspect displayed variances.
- Follow source-order, invoice, fulfillment, or recognition links to investigate unexplained amounts.
- Resolve differences before enabling policy-driven recognition or completing the relevant close review.
Check the result
A zero register-to-OTC-GL variance is required by the recognition cutover switch. Legacy source allocations can retain their prior deferral behavior; existing posted GL is not rewritten by enabling the policy.
If something goes wrong
Review scope, accounts, legacy balances, credits, and pending/negative plan lines rather than changing the switch repeatedly. Recognition eligibility and posted recognition are distinct.
