Deferred Revenue Management in Odoo v12
Deferred revenue refers to payments received in advance for services which have not yet been performed or goods which have not yet been delivered. These revenues are classified on the company’s balance sheet as a liability and not as an asset. Deferred revenue is common among software and insurance providers, who require up-front payments in exchange for service periods that may last for many months.
Example of Deferred Revenue:
To illustrate deferred revenue, let’s assume that a company designs websites and has been asked to provide a price quote for a new website. The design company states that it can complete the new website for $70,000. The terms require a payment of $30,000 at the time the contract is signed and $40,000 at the end of the project, which is estimated to take 60 days. The company agrees to begin working on the project 10 days after the $30,000 is received.
