Back to TopDeferral Tab

You use the Deferral tab to specify how deferrals should be performed for this non-stock item when it is sold or purchased. If no deferral code is assigned to the item on this tab, no deferrals will be performed, and the revenue or expense will be recognized immediately. If a code is assigned to the item, revenue from its sales will be recognized according to the settings specified for the deferral code.

If this non-stock item is a package—that is, if a deferral code with the Multiple-Deliverable Arrangement deferral code selected on the Deferral Codes (DR202000) form, as described in Managing Recognition for Packages—you should also add the required components to this package (other stock items or non-stock items) and define how the total package price should be allocated among the components. For each component, you should assign an individual deferral code, which will define how the price of the component will be deferred; otherwise, the item price will be recognized immediately. You can use different recognition methods to comply with the revenue recognition regulations of your country.

Element Description
Deferral Code The deferral code assigned to this non-stock item. The code specifies how the revenue from the sale of this item will be recognized. Deferral codes are defined on the Deferral Codes (DR202000) form.

This value is calculated automatically as the sum of the percentages you assign to the components if the item is sold as a package and consists of components. When the item is not a package, the total percentage is set to 100.
This box becomes hidden if the Revenue Recognition by IFRS 15/ASC 606 feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.

  • Residual: This allocation method can be selected for one of the revenue components of an item with the MDA deferral code. If a document contains a single revenue component with this allocation method, the residual amount will be calculated as the document amount without taxes minus the revenue of non-residual components. If a document contains multiple revenue components with this allocation method, the calculated residual amount will be distributed among the residual components based on their allocation weights.
Fixed Amount The fixed amount of the item price assigned to the component if the Fixed Amount option is selected in the Allocation Method column.
