Customer does not have the Deferred Revenue module.

Does anyone know of a way to accomplish the following scenario:

  1. Invoice customer for sold item and install is also invoice up front.
  2. The install credits a deferred revenue account rather than revenue
  3. When the install is complete, via a Field Service invoice, we need to debit the deferred revenue account and credit revenue- therefore recognizing the revenue when the service is comlete.

Thank you for any input you can provide.

Why not take a prepayment for the amount of the service order.  This puts the prepayment in a liability account.  As the items and services are completed invoice them.  This relieves the liability and credits revenue.

​@susane18 - that might actually work!  The user will need to override the account on the prepayment transaction so that it doesn’t go to deposits, but goes to deferred revenue instead. But I think that may work. Thank you
