Deferred Revenue Report
Quick Intro
The standard deferred revenue report forecasts expected revenue recognition. It can do this either based on invoices that have been raised, or based on existing mooring contracts, regardless of invoicing state.
Where To Find It
Select the Deferred Revenue option from your Nav Bar. Upon opening, you can switch between Contract Mode or Invoice Mode using the tabs at the top of the screen.
How To Use It
By default, the report outputs the revenue that should be recognised in each period, indicating your effective revenue for that period. However, both Invoice and Contract modes have a Reducing Balance option - this changes the output to report the total deferred revenue balance in each period. This indicates your effective deferred revenue liability for that period.
Contract-Based Mode
Contract-based mode reports on Current Contracts, as well as Renewal Contracts, if you've selected the relevant option. There are also options to include or exclude the non-mooring elements of a contract, including discounts, and additional services/charges.
Historical contracts are not included, so this report cannot be used for historical reporting.
Invoice-Based Mode
This mode works largely the same as the contract mode, except that the figures are derived from actual invoices, rather than contracts. This may include non-mooring services, if they have been deferred.
By default, all mooring invoices are deferred over the customer's period of stay. However, ad hoc invoices can also be deferred manually at the point of raising.
