AC14

AC14.1 - Activity Revenue

Use this form to define revenue recognition parameters. You can establish
revenue parameters for summary level activities. For long term contracts
(contracts longer than one year) revenue is recognized for the entire
contract, although billing parameters can vary by task or account category.

You can define revenue parameters at only one level in the activity variable
level structure. When you add a new activity in this form, the program checks
the revenue level defined on AC00.1 (Activity Group) in the Process section of
the form. The activity that you add here must equal the level number defined
on AC00.1. It is valid to have more than one activity revenue record at the
level where revenue parameters are defined.

In the Transaction section of the form, where you can define revenue accounts
or account categories and GL codes, define either accounts or account
categories in combination with GL codes, but not both of these options.

To define your own calculation logic for calculating revenue, you need to
define user-defined methods on this form. ACUR71WS, ACUR71CP, and ACUR71PD are
the libraries you need to modify to create a user-defined revenue recognition
method. You need to save them, then copy them back in after each new cyclical.
