Revenue Cutoff Period Check

Check recognized revenue against the period the goods shipped. Preparation only, not an account action.

What to provide

The invoices, their ship dates and the periods they were booked in.

How it works

1. Record each invoice ship date.
2. Record the period it was booked in.
3. Flag invoices booked before shipment.
4. Return the check without journal changes.

The output

invoice | ship_date | invoice_date | period | correct_period

Worked fictional example

Fictional close covered 45 December invoices; 8 shipped in January but were booked in December: 37 in the correct period.

Checks and limits

Keep original values, source IDs and version dates. Unknown facts stay held. Use qualified review for hiring, legal and accounting conclusions. No send, share, sign-in, scheduling, ledger change or payment. Fictional contract review is not a live account compatibility test.
