Chapter: 3 - Configuration tools in Accounting module

Deferred Revenue Models

The next type of Management tool that is available in the Odoo platforms is the Deferred Revenue Models which will indicate the payments received by the company at first before the products are even delivered or manufactured. The Deferred Revenue is mainly associated with the Subscription-based products of the company where the subscription amount is paid in advance before the products are completely delivered for a month or year of the fixed period. For example, the Subscription charge for a Magazine or newspaper is provided in advance for the month and the payments made in such a manner will fall under the Deferred Revenue.

Odoo Accounting has a separate window to define the Deferred Revenues of the company and the Deferred Revenue Models under the configuration tab. The operational account type of the Deferred Accounts will be of Current Liability. In the operations of the business the company will be rendering service to the customer and the payment will be received for the service which is not being provided and the payment has been received in advance then the Deferred Revenue will fall under a liability for the company in Odoo. Furthermore, when the services are being rendered during each year to the customers for the advanced payment they the lability is reduced until the next advance is received. All the service rendering as pecs as well as the reduction of the liabilities of the Deferred Revenue will be clearly recorded in the Balance Sheet of the platform. Here all the Deferred Revenue Models will be depicted just as shown in the following screenshot. Here the Revenue Name, Revenue Account, Deferred Revenue Account, Number of Recognitions, and Period length will be described. As in all other menus of the Odoo platform, there are also filtering as well as Group by options available helping you to sort out the required Deferred Revenue Models.
